Veezy's Jazz Music Room

Veezy's Jazz Music Room

Course Overview:

This course is intended for all audiences with musical interest. Whether you are a musician looking to enhance your own skills, you are interested in teaching jazz theory, or you are someone who doesn't perform but is interested in music "mechanics", this course is tailored for all audiences levels. This is a basic music theory course. Topics like how to read time signatures, clefs, and dynamics are what this course is about. The course also introduces you to some intermediate topics like Intervals (only major intervals are covered in this course), The Circle of Fifths, and the Cycle of Fourths.

This classroom consists of video lectures, practice assignments, PowerPoint materials for the students, audio files for ear-training, and a final comprehensive self-assessment at the end of the course for you to see what you may or may not need to go back and review.
