Product Description:The Jazz Workbook, Volume 1 is the first book of its kind. It is essential that single-note jazz instrumentalists, including guitarists, learn to hear and play through chord changes. As the book?s companion play-along CD does not include a chord instrument, the student can hear the sound of the chord on his or her own instrument. All of the exercises and melodic shapes in this book are completely written out for the student, so just playing through the exercises with or without a teacher will clear up many questions about harmony.

The pieces of music in this volume have all been written in the twelve-bar blues style and have been arranged in two parts but it is possible to play just the treble and still sound good. The CD features accompaniments for all 9 duets and also includes tuning notes.

It contains lead sheets for a hundred tunes together with specially commissioned arrangements including those for Level/Grade 4 or 5 exams for Jazz Clarinet Sax (Alto/Tenor) Trumpet and Trombone.
