10. APPENDICES APPENDIX A*CHORD STUDY PATTERNS The following chord study patterns are useful for practising chord voicings. They will also serve as ear-training and chord sight-reading exercises. The patterns are based on the cycle of fifths, chromatic sequences and other harmonic devices discussed in the preceding pages and are representative of chord charts which the jazz pianist will frequently encounter. Each pattern should be played in as many ways as possible, exploring the different voicings which can be used and investigating the alterations which can be applied to each chord. The patterns contained in the following pages are as follows: 1 (1) Descending by fifths 2 [ivi Descending by fifths 3 Ww Descending by fifths 4a (H-V-1)-(0-V-I) Descending by tones 1st series 4b_ | (H-v-n--Vv-n Descending by tones 2nd series 5a (IIm7>5-V7b9-Im]- Descending by tones 1st series Sb | [Ilm75-V7b9-Im]- Descending by tones 2nd series 6a | -V}(0-v) Descending by tones st series 6b | {-V}It-v) Descending by tones 2nd series 7a {1-b117}-(1-b117) Descending by tones 1st series 7b | (1-b117)-(1-+117) Descending by tones 2nd series 8 U1-V)-{0-V) Descending by semitones 9a | (-V}-II-V) Ascending by tones 9b | U-ViI-VI Ascending by tones 2nd series 10a | (Ilm7>5-V7>9]- Descending by tones 1st series 10b | [IIm7>5-V7>9]- Descending by tones 2nd series W {1Im7>5-V7>9]- Descending by semitones 12a | [1Im7>5-V7)9]- Ascending by tones 1st series 12b | [Ilm7>5-V759]- Ascending by tones 2nd series 13 | (I-5I117-bVImaj7-b117 Introduction/Turnaround 14a | (-IVm7/Vi7-1) Turnaround 1st series 14b | (1-IVm7/VII7-1) Turnaround 2nd series 14¢ | (1-IVm7/Vi7-1) Turnaround 3rd series 15 | [1-#dim-IL-#dim- Descending by fifths 1_—_vm7I7) Ill bass 1, [II-III] descending by fifths SECTION 10 eCm7 / / 1) Fm7 / / /| Bom7 / ff \Ebm7 / sf [asm 11 ifemme 111] eamr 1 1 1 Bm7 / / / Cia | | 2.
