Intro To Jazz Analysis – mDecks Music
A deep dive into Mapping Tonal Harmony Pro v10 that explains the new symbolic notation and how to read harmonic maps to analyze and memorize jazz tunes.
This lesson breaks down the new arrows, brackets and circled symbols in Mapping Tonal Harmony Pro v10 and shows how they reveal functional harmonic movement, cadences, tritone substitutions, backdoor progressions, and extended dominants. Through annotated examples (including Foolish Heart and common turnarounds) you’ll learn to recognize recurring harmonic paths across keys and reharmonize on the fly. The lesson emphasizes practical use of the map interface—color layers, delayed arrows, and headless arrows—to follow progressions in real time and practice targeted reharmonizations. Ideal for players who want to read harmonic maps, internalize common jazz cadences, and apply those concepts to memorizing and playing tunes in any key.
