The course is based on Theory Jazz A and consists of an introduction to non-functional harmony and modal systems, work analysis, improvisational theory and technique, and analyses of improvisation in addition to composing and arranging. The subject is closely connected to the subject of aural training, and will to a great extent serve as a systematic way of making the student aware of the material and the processes at work in aural training. An emphasis is put upon the student's command of aural and musical aspects of the course.
