    Hi I have this book and have the exercise book too. And as a completely beginner in jazz (besides I already ve known how to make scales, chord types, reading notes etc.) I can tell that imv this book is complete crap for newbie. I still have no clue how to improvise on counterpoint (but since the very beginning they demand this from you in exercise book) this book doesn't even give proper example what the counterpoint is and i had to spent an hour surfing through the internet to at least get the gist of what the heck that is. And this is just one example, but in this book majority of exercises are using the rules which were only broadly (like without details or examples) mentioned before. When the book's title says from beginner to advance i expect some explanation. I don't recommend the book. Sry for language I'm not native.

      Theoretically, any scale can be mirrored likewise any texture although, especially with denser textures, the resulting sound may be questionable

      @@decipheringguitarmusictheory Thank you. I wasn't sure if modern formal rules of counterpoint allowed mirroring. I'm aware pretty much everything can be done, but like how a maj11 is a rare chord, I guess when I say "can" what I mean is "Is X often or even rarely done in Y situation?". I'm one of those people who likes thinking of music like grammar. The rules spare me from chasing elusive tones with my ears until my ears have improved to the point that I no longer have to think about the rules. Thanks again.

    00:30 atonality/12-tone is not a jazz theory though. it is a classical composer theory. berg is not jazz either. modes of limited transposition is not jazz theory either. yet there is no figured bass I bet, or probably even counterpoint. so basically...it sounds like this book is simply another textbook from the American education system's corrupt perspective on how to learn music. by the title 'jazz theory' they must actually mean 'post-1880 music' and just are using the term 'jazz' to sell more copies. explain why the best textbook is not still CPE Bach's textbook, 'the art of keyboard playing', especially considering it is zero or near zero cost to get a copy and actually contains the fundamentals of music.

    I'll echo another commenter. I think you really need to include audio to accompany your explanations.

I didn't include audio of Terefenko's examples as I didn't want to infringe on any copyright and for my own examples I only included the scale models without audio to encourage people to work with the ideas themselves. Partimento-style exercises are supposed to be about experimentation. But I agree, perhaps I could've/should've included at least one audio clip. Thanks for the commen

    Thanks, I found it useful since you gave some key points about the book that help me in my choice. If it's already for someone with a good understanding of music theory, it's not a book for me. Actually I understand theory OK, but I don't have a trained ear. I found that learning the Rule of the Octave and learning thoroughbass are helping overcome that handicap, but I probably have Aural Aphantasia. Most musicians I talk with tell me I'll probably never be a musician, but that doesn't bother me. i just want to be able to sit and play at the piano. I quit watching all the videos of learning 100s of songs in an hour to sound AWESOME! I'm not awesome, so that's a waste of time for me. That's a reason that I don't watch a certain You Tuber with millions of viewers for his music theory lessons. If you don't understand every diminished half tone pirouette modal scale, you can't follow his lessons. So I don't anymore. I'll see what you have to say about music since it sounds like you talk basic sense.

    Can you suggest a book that would help me pass the MEGA music exam vocal and intrumental k-12? I am a teacher with a background in, music, but it was not my major in college- just a hobby. I studied the practice book and ordered an online practice test and passed it, but then when I took thr real test it was all about band, jazz, and listening for different modes as well as knowing who wrote what music according to the sheet music. I didnt pass becasue i was a string, piano and recorder player who played in orchestras and quartets. I don't knkw anythjng about band and jazz. Now I don't have any materials to study.

      Hi Andrea, I made a video suggesting some books about jazz theory (modes etc) it's in the playlist for books worth reading. For history of jazz, 'The History of Western Music' by Grout, Palisca has an overview but there are other specialised books such as 'The History of Jazz' by Ted Gioia. A lot of books also give lists of works for listening which is something I'd recommend if you don't already do so. I'm not familiar with the MEGA exam but you mentioned you have already looked at their study material, is there some relevant to Jazz? Hope it goes well!
