Join Dr. Theresa Chen, assistant professor of jazz studies (jazz piano) at Texas A&M University Kingsville for this special webinar! Stride is an early solo jazz piano style that was popular during the 1930s. It was influenced by ragtime music pioneered by Scott Joplin. This performance practice creates performing challenges by combining jazz improvisation and virtuosic piano techniques. This presentation provides approaches to learning to improvise stride blues in various aspects, from elaborating the four-bar tonic key to the entire blues form. The examples of different stride blues changes and harmonic embellishment offer a better understanding on the history of 12-bar blues and more possibilities for young players to experiment with their creativity in improvisations.

Plus a Q & A with the live audience.

A presentation from the Jazz Education Research and Practice Journal, a publication of the Jazz Education Network.
