10. APPENDICES
APPENDIX A*CHORD STUDY PATTERNS
The following chord study patterns are useful for practising chord voicings.
They will also serve as ear-training and chord sight-reading exercises.
The patterns are based on the cycle of fifths, chromatic sequences and
other harmonic devices discussed in the preceding pages and are
representative of chord charts which the jazz pianist will frequently
encounter.
Each pattern should be played in as many ways as possible, exploring
the different voicings which can be used and investigating the alterations
which can be applied to each chord.
The patterns contained in the following pages are as follows:
