    This course is designed for students who have attained some background in jazz piano playing. The course is designed to develop students' ability to play intermediate jazz piano arrangements from lead sheets in a variety of jazz styles and settings using knowledge of jazz theory, jazz piano techniques, and improvisational skills. Improvisational skill on the piano is developed through the application of scales determined through the use of jazz theory and harmonic analysis, and the application of techniques for melodic development.
