<h1>Exercises for “The Jazz Piano Book”</h1>
<h2>Exercises</h2>
<h3>Chapter One</h3>
<p><!--</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The chart that follows shows all the intervals, both ascending
and descending, as they occur in tunes from the standard jazz
repertoire. […] Play each example and <em>sing</em> the interval. […]
Listen carefully to all the voicings in the examples.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><em>– p. 1</em></p>
<p>I usually just hit a random note on the keyboard and try to sing the
next interval starting from that note, iterating through the intervals.
-->
<!--TODO: Image of all possible intervals here--></p>
<blockquote>
<p>Practice singing the intervals, both ascending and descending. Sing
the melody, or "head," of standards, bebop, and other jazz tunes while
listening to records.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><em>– p. 9</em></p>
<blockquote>
<p>Play the major, minor, diminished, and augmented triads in all keys
and all inversions.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><em>– p. 12</em></p>
<p>I usually follow the circle of fiths.</p>
<h3>Chapter 2</h3>
<blockquote>
<p>Memorize the II-V-I progression in every key. Go through all twelve
keys saying the II-V-I chords aloud both sitting at, and away from,
the piano. Make a mantra of it until you have the progressions
memorized. <em>Always practice everything in every key</em>.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><em>– p. 16</em></p>
