INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED |
These
courses are aimed at musicians of all ages and will also

jazz artist.
(All Time Jazz Standards)
The course will focus on playing and improvising over standard jazz songs. Often originating from musicals, films and other
shows, these songs have been adopted by jazz musicians and have provided a substantial repertoire which allows musicians to
instantly play and communicate music together without rehearsal. Your knowledge of standard tunes, and ability to improvise on
them, will be improved through this course. Covers 2-5-1 sequences, swing, latin and ballad feels, embellishing a tune, etc.
Recommended jazz books for this course are:
Jamey Aebersold Jazz Vol 25 All Time Standards
Hal Leonard Jazz Vol 7 Essential Jazz Standards
