Jazz Studies Applied Curriculum for Guitar
STANDARDS & JAZZ CLASSICS LIST

Jazz guitar students are required to memorize fifty of these standards and jazz classics. When a student comes to his/her lesson and wants to pass a tune, s/he must bring a copy of the tune and a blank cassette tape. The student is required to present a copy of the selected tune(s) to the instructor one week before trying to pass the tune. The student must be able to play the melody, improvise a solo over the chord changes, comp the changes for the instructor’s solo, play the melody again and end it without referring to the sheet music. If there are any mistakes, the student must try to pass that tune on another day. With the approval of the instructor, tune substitutions are allowed.
