All music theory, regardless of how complex, can be broken back down into notes and intervals. It’s important to remember this. Therefore, before we dive into Jazz, it’s worthwhile reviewing some elementary music theory to ensure we understand the basics. In these lessons we will discuss:
- Notes and Intervals
- Scales and Modes
- Chords (Triads)
- Keys
- Harmonising a melody
- Swing vs Straight rhythm
Make sure you are comfortable with these basic musical concepts before moving on to the next module on Jazz Chords.
