MUS 2150 - Jazz Theory
Credits: 3 (3 + 0)
Prerequisite(s) or Corequisite(s): MUS 2130 and MUS 2140
Description: Jazz theory explores music theory through the jazz idiom. Concepts learned in previous theory classes are reinterpreted with jazz-specific vocabulary. In addition, the course investigates theory concepts unique to jazz, such as recognition and comprehension of chord symbols, harmonic and melodic analysis, re-harmonization techniques, harmonic considerations in transcribed improvisations, and jazz arranging. This course presents ideas in chronological order and relates concepts with historic development of harmony, melody, and rhythm through the different jazz styles and eras.
