Jazzabilities: Logical Jazz Studies
Many beginning jazz methods and repertoire books are designed for more experienced students. The Jazzabilities series is different. The emphasis is on developing rhythmic control through short, jazzy exercises - in essence, building a jazz vocabulary. Jazzabilities, Book 1 is perfect for the student with a late elementary reading level. It is broken up into weekly assignments, one page per week. Each page gives 3 different one-measure rhythmic patterns and matching four-measure tunes with which to realize the given rhythm. At the bottom of each page, three notes are suggested for simple improvisations on the given rhythms. Teacher accompaniments are also offered for every page. Jazz Connection is a series of jazz repertoire books designed to be used in tandem with the Jazzabilities series. Book 1 offers nine performance pieces in a variety of styles. These pieces help reinforce the concepts introduced in Jazzabilities. Jazz Connection, Book 1 begins at the early intermediate level. Book 2 of both Jazzabilities and Jazz Connection offers the same format as Book 1 but at the intermediate level.
