Jazz is not a style. It is a mentality. The jazz mentality is the key to unlocking a musical fluency that can be applied to any style of music. Jazz shows the practical applications of music theory in context. Jazz is where music theory becomes music performance. No doubt you've tried to learn theory and improvisation on your own. No doubt it's led to massive frustration. It's not your fault. That's like trying to teach yourself astrophysics. Some things require a teacher. Musical fluency is one of them. I've got a master's degree in jazz performance and 15 years of teaching experience. With my help, you will easily smash through every barrier that prevents you from achieving your musical goals.

Are jazz orchestras like ours embracing a renaissance? According to The Guardian, the answer is a resounding YES! As reported by journalist Kevin Le Gendre, big bands in jazz “remain an integral fixture on the international jazz landscape, a common thread across cultures.” So, jazz as we know and love it is not only here to stay — it’s here to GROW.

GEE WHIZ! Do you believe it? Another FREE jazz sight reading. Back to the basics again....I7 to V7. Don't even think about improvising if you can't navigate that set of changes. And one other gift to YOU. RECAP: I have put out a digital package that contains 127 sets (posted over the past 10 years) of my free jazz sight reading. Most chord progression folders contain 4 or 5 sets..... the iim7 to V7 folder actually contains 15 sets. And there are some extra "goodies" in the package too. 127 sets. That is a lot of sight reading (each page covering all 12 keys) for your students (if you direct a jazz ensemble). I am going to offer it to music educators for only $20. If you only want a digital email containing all of the free sight reading posts for only one instrument, that will be $10. I've done these for the past 10 years to help people sight read better. If you're a director who has downloaded every one and used them with your jazz students, you don't need this digital package. But if not, this is a very inexpensive way to bolster your jazz education curriculum in a big way. SETS BUILT FROM LINEAR TRANSITIONS I I7 to bII7. 4 sets I7 to II7 5 sets I7 to bIII7 4 sets I7 to III7. 4 sets I7 to IV7. 5 sets I7 to #IV7 5 sets I7 to V7 6 sets I7 to bVI7 8 sets I7 to Vi7 4 sets I7 to bVII7 5 sets I7 to VII7 8 sets Iim7 to V7 15 sets SETS BUILT FROM LINEAR TRANSITIONS II Im7 to biim7 5 sets Im7 to iim7 3 sets Im7 to biiim7 5 sets Im7 to iiim7 5 sets Im7 to ivm7 5 sets Im7 to #ivm7 3 sets Im7 to vm7 4 sets Im7 to bvim7 6 sets Im7 to vim7 4 sets Im7 to bviim7 4 sets Im7 to viim7 4 sets SPECIAL SETS 12 bar blues (12 bars in every key). 2 sets Ii7 V7 Imaj7 Imaj7 1 set All the Things 1 set Giant Steps 3 sets I7 VI7 iim7 V7 I7 1 set I will email you a digital package containing 127 sets of JAZZ SIGHT READING (each page contains all 12 keys) for $20. All you have to do is take an envelope, throw in a check or cash ( a twenty; or 2 tens; or 4 fives) and wrap the check or cash in a folded piece of paper. On that paper you write down your name, school, and your email. You then mail the envelope to me. John Cooper 40 Union Street, Orono, Maine 04473 Of course, for $20 I have done the work for you. That’s 16 cents per set. I’d say that providing that much sight reading for your students is well worth $20, right? And I email you the package. And for those of you that only want all of the (name one.... trumpet/clarinet; alto/bari sax; tenor/soprano sax; trombone/bass; piano/score/vibes/violin; guitar/flute sets ........ that will be $10. mail the envelope to me.
