Description

Throughout the many years of teaching jazz piano students, I created and accumulated a vast amount of material on various topics related to jazz, jazz piano, piano technique, and music theory for my students. A few of these were on the topic of the diminished scale, and the various melodic and harmonic applications that the scale offered. The handouts were revised over the years, and some of them grew larger and larger. At some point, I began to notice just how much harmonic content the scale embodied and decided that it was more than enough to make the subject of a large treatise. Hence, Diminished Scale Harmony.
