Purpose:

Many of us know there is a lot of work to be done. However, without at least some guidance or preliminary goals, we leave things undone. We are overwhelmed with where to start. Here are some starting places. Hopefully, the fact that the material changes monthly will provide you with at least some motivation to meet a deadline without overwhelming you with extra material.

Jazz Course-what you get:

• scale of the month
• stepwise pattern of the month
• interval pattern of the month
• chord of the month
• chord pattern of the month
• II-V lick of the month
• suggested jazz tune practice activity of the month (for use with a play along)
• suggested ballad of the month (partial lead sheet and recording given-you finish)
• suggested solo transcription of the month (partial example given-you finish and compare)
• suggested be-bop head of the month
• suggested album study for the month (you obtain a copy from a library or record store)
• suggested reading assignment of the month (you obtain a copy from a library or book store)
