An Introduction to Jazz Chord Voicing for Keyboard

(Instructional). This book is designed for the pianist/keyboardist with moderate technical skills and reading ability who desires to play jazz styles and learn to improvise from reading chord symbols. It is an ideal self-teaching book for keyboardists in high school and junior high jazz ensembles. Unique features of this book include chords and progressions written out in all keys (not just written in one key with a complicated formula for figuring out all the other keys), a simple fingering system which applies to all keys, and coverage of improvising and solo playing. It also includes access to online examples recorded in a jazz combo context. The accompanying audio is accessed through Hal Leonard's popular MyLibrary system using the provided code. The audio can be streamed or downloaded and includes PLAYBACK+, a multi-functional audio player that allows you to slow down audio without changing pitch, set loop points, change keys, and pan left or right.
