The Jazz Theory Workbook is a primer in jazz theory, intended to prepare the student for the serious study of jazz improvisation, arrangement, and composition. The focus is on the harmonic language of jazz, especially the harmonic practices which coalesced in the bebop and post-bop periods of the 1940s and 1950s when bebop and standard tunes formed the core of the mainstream repertoire. The harmonic language of that period is still the framework on which contemporary jazz musicians build. Included are many musical examples and written assignments for practice in the theoretical skills. Appropriate exercises are provided to reinforce theoretical concepts by immediate application to the instrument.

Combining theory with practice, this book offers a theory of composition which is ground-breaking, far beyond the topic of 'film'. Since 1980, composing has generally meant more than the mere logical development with the traditional materials space, time and sound: Music rather is about associative composing, the integration of entertaining, serious, world and jazz music, even with the aid of the latest studio technology. The use of these components for the development of film music is described by the author in his book, providing practical tips, such as concerning questions of music and film editing, synchronization of images and music, mixing, sound sampling as well as everyday problems such as studio rent and fees.
