| Summary |
Designed for Music Theory courses, Music Theory Through Improvisation presents a unique approach to basic theory and musicianship training that examines the study of traditional theory through the art of improvisation. The book follows the same general progression of diatonic to non-diatonic harmony in conventional approaches, but integrates improvisation, composition, keyboard harmony, analysis, and rhythm. The author's entirely new pathway places the study of harmony within improvisation and composition in stylistically diverse format, with Jazz and popular music serving as important stylist |
