Jazz History
The history of Jazz music origins is attributed to the turn of the 20th
century New Orleans, although this unique, artistic medium occurred
almost simultaneously in other North American areas like Saint Louis,
Kansas City and Chicago. Traits carried from West African black folk
music developed in the Americas, joined with European popular and light
classical music of the late 18th and 19th centuries, became the
syncopated rhythms of Ragtime and minor chord voicings characteristic
of the Blues.
Jazz music is among America's greatest cultural achievements and
exports to the world community. It gives powerful voice to the American
experience. Born of a multi-hued society, Jazz unites people across the
divides of race, region and national boundaries. It has always made
powerful statements about freedom, creativity and American identity at
home and abroad.
Jazz, an American art form, an international phenomenon! Jazz is not
the result of choosing a tune, but an ideal that is created first in
the mind, inspired by one's passion, and willed next in playing music.
Jazz music draws from life experience and human emotion as the
inspiration of the creative force, and through this discourse is
chronicled the story of it's people. Jazz musicians and those that
follow the genre closely, can indeed be thought of as an artistic
community complete with it's leaders, spokesmen, innovators,
aficionados, members & fans.
Jazz Education
Music and all Art is an essential part of the "human experience." A
basic understanding and appreciation of Music can only serve to broaden
ones character and deepen the connection with those around us. Today,
Jazz music is played, studied and taught at private and public
institutions around the globe. However, as lower budgets force public
schools to cut back, private lessons will not only supplement the
school, but may eventually replace it in many areas. This is especially
true for Jazz education.
Understanding Jazz theory & Jazz harmony provides the basis for Jazz
improvisation, fills and soloing. Study improv methods and find Jazz
chords, Blues chords, intervals, cadences, turnarounds,
reharmonisation, tritone substitution and transposing keys.
Interact the virtual piano chords to see variations of piano chords,
chord voicings, and piano scales, or study the charts for scale
degrees, chord progressions, the circle of fifths, or to find Jazz
scales and common modes. Guitarists will find shapes for basic barre
chords, open positions and root voicings with the virtual guitar
chords.
Study Jazz piano lessons, music theory and composition at the San Diego
music studio, or from your home or office via computer with online
piano lessons. For an instructor or music school in your area, use the
Jazz teacher locator. Search for instruction with piano, guitar, bass,
drums, sax, flute, clarinet, trumpet, trombone & voice lessons.
