JAZZ CLASSES Jazz Theory and Arranging (Ages 14 to Adult) This course in the Preparatory is offered in three years — one discipline each semester, depending upon enrollment. Emphasis will be placed on practical application, and pacing will be determined by class progress. Future semesters will cover arranging, harmonizing concepts, and composition. Jazz Theory 1 focuses on the harmonic and formal aspects of the music. Beginning with an overview of the diatonic 7th chords and major modes, the course primarily deals with Roman numeral analysis and common harmonic motion and progressions in jazz, as well as standard forms. This will also include some basic ear-training and identification. The course also includes an introduction to voice leading in jazz, and an introduction to the “Bebop” vocabulary and its application. Jazz Theory 2 begins with a continued focus on harmonic function, and the application of this knowledge. The course will address “chord-scales” and their application, and begin to analyze jazz improvised solos from the “Bebop” and “Hardbop” periods. The course will define and examine examples of “making the chord changes” – how this is accomplished through implications of melody content, and to understand the relationship between melodic content (solos) and the harmony. Rhythm vocabulary will also be addressed. Prerequisite: Knowledge of traditional music theory and notation. Minimum of four students.

music classes & Programs Piano Chad R. Bowles, Piano Department Chair cbowles3@jhu.edu Piano Department Advisory Council: Laura Garvin, Elizabeth Azcona-Hartmark, Amy Killian, Hyun-Sook Park The Preparatory offers several different ways of studying the piano, including a Suzuki-based method for beginning students called Peabody's Young Pianists, jazz and traditional piano programs. The department requires that students have a piano in their home on which to practice, as electronic keyboards are not considered a good substitute for an acoustic piano. Serious piano students ages 12-18 whose playing exhibits above-average fluidity, musicality and promise may be considered for the Preparatory's program for the most advanced piano students, the Peabody Piano Academy. Through a placement interview at the beginning of the semester, all students are matched by the Piano Department co-chairs with members of the piano faculty for individual instruction. The department offers many performance opportunities throughout the year, as well as regular repertoire classes, where students are given the opportunity to play for different members of the faculty in a supportive, motivational environment. When paired with regular, daily practice, the Peabody experience is one in which piano students can reach their full potential. As students progress in their studies, the Preparatory recommends that the student and/or parent discuss with their instructor the possibilities of taking Chamber Music. Students in the Certificate Program must also study Theory. The Piano Department recommends that all students study Theory.

Bowles and Hyun-Sook Park, Directors Downtown, 410-234-4630 The Peabody Piano Academy, for the Preparatory's most advanced and motivated students, brings together late intermediate and advanced piano students in a mutually enriching, challenging and encouraging environment. Serious piano students, ages 12-18, whose playing exhibits above-average fluidity, musicality and promise may be considered for the program and are chosen for acceptance by audition before the start of the fall semester. Exceptional younger students may be considered on a case-by-case basis. The audition process includes a theory test. The goal of the Academy is to give the piano student a well-rounded education in order to help in gaining a thorough understanding of the literature and to enhance the enjoyment of music making. Students will become more thoughtful and capable musicians who are both skilled and knowledgeable about their instrument, as well as able collaborators. Piano Academy students will be expected to practice 2-3 hours a day and participate in all special events. Since Piano Academy classes take place on Saturdays, it is encouraged that Piano Academy students have their individual instruction scheduled on a weekday. Piano Academy classes take place on Saturdays at the Peabody downtown campus and, in addition to weekly 60 or 90 minute individual instruction with a member of the Peabody faculty, includes Ear-Training, Musicianship for Pianists (sight-reading, transposition, keyboard harmony and improvisation), Ensemble Class (instrumental and vocal collaboration) and a Performance Class. The centerpiece of the Peabody Piano Academy , the Performance Class is designed as a group-learning experience, where students perform for each other, receiving feedback from the instructor as well as their peers and guest teachers. It offers frequent performance opportunities through repertoire classes, mock auditions and master classes with guest artists. Students are asked to submit short essays on the pieces they are performing, showing knowledge of time period and style. The Performance Class also includes listening to and learning about standard repertoire, lectures and the Piano Academy recital at the end of each semester. Students also have additional opportunities to perform in their private teacher's studio recitals. For more information on the Peabody Piano Academy, please contact the Preparatory Office at 410-234-4630. For questions regarding audition requirements and repertoire, please contact either Chad R. Bowles at cbowles3@jhu. edu or Hyun-Sook Park at hpark3@jhmi.edu or visit www. peabody.jhu.edu/PianoAcademy.
