This course is designed to present and develop jazz arranging and compositional principles. In preparation for successful improvisation, composing and transcription, a wide range of theoretical topics are presented.The stylistic considerations of jazz improvisation and composition require an extensive and working knowledge of jazz theory, and mastery of diatonic, bitonal, poly-tonal and atonal theoretical maximums and processes – including the refining of the [imitation] transcription process towards theoretical justification and conventional usage.

“Jazz Theory: Contemporary Improvisation, Transcription, and Composition offers a vast amount of prac-tical and speculative content which serves to guide, challenge, and inspire individuals in their pur-suit of musical understanding and creative excellence. Ron Westray has produced a compendium of useful and exotic resources which will serve as a beneficial aid for students, amateurs, scholars, and seasoned musicians. Performers, composers, theorists, and academics, working in or across a wide variety of contemporary ‘styles’ (e.g., jazz, rock, pop, country, latin, funk, gospel, urban), will find something useful and thought provoking in this impressive volume.”— Michael Coghlan, Associate Professor of Music, York University, Toronto, Canada
