Jazz Theory to Accompany Instrumental Jazz 10, 20, 30
In this booklet, the goal is to help students learn the language of jazz. Every effort has been made to ensure that the language used here is the common language of jazz musicians. In order to converse intelligently about their music, students need to understand and to use theoretical terms correctly. Finally, effort has been made to try to describe aspects of jazz theory in more than one way, as not everyone always has the same learning style or understands things the same way.
