Jazz Piano, Developing an Understanding of Harmonic and Melodic Development.

This class is geared towards students who already possess a fundamental understanding of music and wish to develop an understanding of jazz harmony, improvisation, theory as well as stride, solo comping and ensemble performance concepts.
While the course offers instruction on the piano only, it can be tailored to be predominately theory based allowing for students of other instruments to apply.
It should be noted that this course generally puts a strong emphasis on transcription and interpretation of those transcriptions, If you unfamiliar or uncomfortable with the process of transcription, do not hesitate to join. Part of this course is designed to help you develop the tools necessary to begin or improve on your transcribing abilities.
