MUY 311 - Jazz Improvisation II

A continuation of MUY 310. Involves the direct application of music theory to jazz improvisation, with emphasis on the development of skills and knowledge through analysis, creating, and performing on a daily basis. Pitched instruments in “C”, “Bb”, “Eb”, or “C bass clef” only, capable of a full chromatic scale, are essential (keyboardists must bring their own) for participation in the course. As with MUY 310, memorization of at least 8 but not more than 16 works from the standard jazz repertory will be required.
