Jazz Theory Masterclass
60 minute class
Service Description
A practical, small-group masterclass led by Dr. Beau Cornelius that turns “chords and scales” into real musical fluency. You’ll learn to read and think in chord symbols and numbers (I–vi–ii–V), hear guide-tones, build shell and four-note voicings, and understand functional harmony, modes, secondary dominants, tritone subs (light touch), and minor ii–V–i progressions. We’ll map common forms (12-bar blues, Rhythm Changes, AABA), analyze standards, and connect theory to the keyboard or your primary instrument so you can comp, create bass lines, and choose colors that fit the moment. Each session includes ear-training, quick analysis “hot seats,” and immediate application with play-along excerpts. You’ll receive concise PDFs, annotated lead sheets, listening lists, and a weekly practice plan. Ideal for pianists, instrumentalists, and vocalists who want clear frameworks, not jargon—no theory degree required, just curiosity and a willingness to practice.
