Self-Tutor for Jazz Piano introduces the reader to both the theory and practical aspects of playing and appreciating Jazz performance for piano. Beginning at the most essential level right up to the science and mathematics of music, this book allows the reader to explore the subject to whatever depth they feel comfortable, and hopefully beyond.
The Author has spent most of his career in Universities; he has four degrees, two of them higher, from London, Leeds and Sheffield. Applying his experience of teaching Maths, Physics and Electronics to explaining musical concepts to readers, listeners and players has been a great pleasure.
He has played the vibes and the piano in various jazz bands around the country and striven to make the subject interesting through questions and answers in the book.
