This course offers advanced work in composition, analysis, arranging and current theoretical ideas and processes relevant to improvisors and composers.

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.

Widely regarded as one of the most important jazz theorists of our time, Ron Westray continues to expand upon the legacy set before him.
