This course teaches how jazz chords and chording works and how we apply jazz chords and concepts to Gospel and Pentecostal music.
This course teaches how jazz voicings (totally different from chords!) work and how we use them to re harmonize, accent, hear and play the melody (and of course how they apply to Gospel and Pentecostal music).
This course teaches jazz improvisation (soloing, fills and runs using scales, modes, chromatic and diatonic concepts as well as other jazz techniques) and how we use it "tastefully" in Gospel and Pentecostal music.
