Course Code: ART32216 Subject: Jazz Music 4

Type of Course: Elective Course


Subject Teacher: Kyle Dreher


Course Description:

This course covers three areas of study: 1) Jazz Appreciation; 2) Jazz Music Theory; and 3) Performing Jazz

Band. In the Jazz Appreciation component, students are exposed to the sounds, concepts and techniques of jazz

through a series of listening activities, lectures, teacher demonstrations, videos, interactive on-line lessons, and group

and individual exploration activities. Students also gain an understanding of the history of jazz music, its major figures

– past and present, and the various sub-genres of jazz. The Jazz Music Theory component of the course takes

students through a do-it-yourself refresher course in basic to intermediate music theory before exposing them to the

advanced and specific music theory involved in jazz. Such topics as scale/mode-to-chord relationships, altered and

extended chords, chord substitutions, functional chords within a progression, swing rhythm, syncopation, rhythmic

displacement, polyrhythm, polytonality and atonality are covered. The Performing Jazz Band component of the

course is conducted much like a high school jazz band in the USA is conducted. Prime emphasis is given to learning

to read both a jazz lead sheet and a jazz arrangement, learning to improvise in a group and within a form, good

practice habits, and of course staging a performance and recording in a studio. The three components are integrated

smoothly across the term of study.


The students will be able to:

1. Students will be able to distinguish jazz from other styles of music.

2. Students will be able to differentiate between the sub-styles of jazz.

3. Students will have a basic knowledge of jazz history and its major artists.

4. Students will sharpen their awareness of music theory in general, and jazz theory specifically.

5. Students will refine their productive group rehearsal techniques.

6. Students will perform jazz classics and the jazz compositions of HM King of Thailand for a variety

of audiences.
