Laid out in a straightforward way, the exercises start simply with arpeggiation up and down the scale (or chord) in 4/4 time, revolving through the circle of fifths or another pattern. The exercises become more complicated, and time signatures change, as do note values. A lot of material is covered. It can be challenging, but with clear, lucid instructions and helpful examples at the head of each lesson, using this book is actually fun; unlike with lots of other practice books, with this one you feel you are actually learning as you practice. Highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thorough and comprehensive. *by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2017* Enough material to work through for a lifetime. Too bad I didn't get this book 40 years ago. I imagine that if a young energetic but patient person actually took the time to methodically and diligently work through all the pages in this book with mind, body, and musical instrument, he or she would be a monster improviser. This book doesn't cover melody and phrasing. Only the nuts and bolts, so to speak. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A logical approach *by G***D on Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2009* Okay, yes, it is logically laid out. If you know nothing about how to use chords in playing runs, this book is very instructive; the exercises may seem really boring, but since songs are in different keys, you need to go through the exercises to be sure you know what you're playing... and you can learn to read music at the same time - a must if you want to learn Jazz. And reading will get you a lot of other gigs as well.Now the not so great. In some ways there is just too much detail from the gate and it can seem a bit overwhelming. Some of the material could be taught through other examples later in the book. But that really is a matter of differences in approach more than a criticism. I teach so my methods are a little different. But that said...Overall, I recommend this book for anyone wanting to learn how to use your instrument more effectively and gain a solid foundation in chord use when playing not just Jazz, but other music, as this information translates well to virtually all styles of music if applied creatively and judiciously. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/17489196-patterns-for-jazz-a-theory-text-for-jazz-composition-improvisation](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/17489196-patterns-for-jazz-a-theory-text-for-jazz-composition-improvisation) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
