Diatonic Chords In-Depth (Jazz Theory, All Instruments)

We explore Jazz theory, learning strategies and improvisation for all Instruments (including jazz piano). This podcast will especially be useful for musicians transitioning to a new instrument or coming from a different style (such as classical music), who are coming back to piano from a longer break, or who are strong players but want to review some of their jazz foundations (including jazz theory and jazz ear training). A strong emphasis is placed on music visualization on your instrument, aural skills development and the four types of memories in music.
