根据美国爵士乐大师Mark levine多年前出版的爵士乐必看书籍《the jazz piano》一书，放在前两章的是Intervals and Triads-Review和The Major Modes and 2-5-1，所有这也成了我专业制定钢琴基础训练的准则带领学生充分阅读这本教材也成了我们教学的目标之一在前言中，Mark levine写到“I has been said that writ-ing a book is a lot like having a baby （the last chaper， like the ninth month， seems to take forever）.I would like to thank several midwives who have help bring The Jazz Piano Book into the world.翻译：我常常说写一本书太像孕育一个孩子（9个月的时间完成，确像用了一辈子）“welcome to the jazz Piano Book ，Acoustic jazz piano is a vast subject and to cover the idiom form james p. Johnson through Cecil taylor would take a book a thousand times the size of the one. The Jazz Piano Book includes beginning through advanced techniques and cover the period from Bud Powell to the present.The information offered here is bassed on what I cleared from the pianists who have influence and inspired me:Bud powell Harace Silver， Thelonious Monk， Wynton Kelly，Bill evans，Herbie hancock，Mccoy tyner，Chick Corea， Eddie Palmieri，Kenny Barron，and many others， including such non pianists as Jon Coltrane ，Joe Henderson， Wayne Shorter，and Charlie Parker.I was fortunate to be able to work with ，and probe the minds of ，several great musicians，especially Woody Shaw and Dave Liebman.I have also had the good fortune to study with four great teacher:Joe pace，Jaki Byard ，Hall overton，and Herb Pomeroy.”翻译：欢迎的来到爵士钢琴的世界。

爵士钢琴是个巨大的课题，要花费很多时间才把james p. Johnson 到Cecil taylor多种音乐风格集中在一起这本爵士钢琴包括有初级到高级的技巧，包括Bud powell 到现在这本书所提供的材料来自于影响我的爵士钢琴家，他们是：Bud powell Harace Silver， Thelonious Monk，Wynton Kelly，Bill evans，Herbie hancock，Mccoy tyner，Chick Corea，Eddie Palmieri，Kenny Barron，and many others，including such non pianists as Jon Coltrane，Joe Henderson，Wayne Shorter，和Charlie Parker.我很荣幸能够和几位音乐家一起工作并探索他们的精神世界，他们是Woody Shaw and Dave Liebman我也很荣幸的能与Joe pace，Jaki Byard，Hall overton，and Herb Pomeroy 三位音乐家一起研究学生可以通过罗列的爵士乐大师找到适合的录音去聆听，这个很重要！）“Although the Jazz Piano Book is meant primarily for pianists，other instrumentalists can use it as well，both as an introduction to jazz piano and as an aid to understanding harmony on their own instrument.The visual element of the keyboard makes jazz harmony more accessible than on other instruments. Many great horn players，bassists，guitarists，and drummers have been excellent pianists as well，including Charles MIngus，Joe Chamaber，Jack De Johnette（all three of whom have recorded piano albums），and joe Henderson”.翻译：虽然这本书对爵士钢琴手很重要，其它的乐器也能使用它，通过它在各自的乐器上去了解爵士和声。

因为键盘个键都能看见，这就比其它乐器更加容易弹出和声许多伟大的吉他手、鼓手、贝斯手都能弹很好的钢琴比如：Charles MIngus，Joe Chamaber，Jack De Johnette（以上三个都钢琴专辑的录音），and joe Henderson”Nobody has ever learned to play jazz from a book only.This one will help guide you while you study with a good teacher，listen to as much live and recorded jazz as you can，transcribe solos and songs from recoeds，and in general，immerse youself as much as possible in the world of jazz.没人仅仅是从一本书中学习爵士乐这本书只是起到指导的作用，于此同时你需要和一位好老师学习、尽可能地聆听大量的音乐现场和录音、去扒大师的独奏段落等等，最终把你自己沉浸在爵士乐的世界中。

Much of this book involes music theory.There’s a good reason why music theory is not called music truth.The only truth is in the music itself.Theory is an intellectual dance we do around the music，thrying to explain its dynamics.Theory varies from era to era and from musician to musician.Although there is continuity in the evolution of jazz，the music that James P.johnson played in the 1920s had changed radically by the time Art Tatum and Fats Waller arrived in the 1930’s，Bud Powell in1940s，Bill evans in the 1950s，Mccoy Tyner and Herbie Hancock in the 1960s，MMUlgrew Miller in the 1970s，Benny Geen in the 1980s，and so on. Keep your ears，and your mind，open.翻译：为什么这本是包含的理论不是音乐的本质了？因为音乐的真相就是她自身。

理论仅是围绕音乐去解释她不断变化的过程音乐理论数千年来在不同的音乐家手里不断变化随着爵士乐不断革新， 例如：James P.johnson在1920年代弹的音乐，Art Tatum 和Fats Walle 在1930年弹的音乐，Bud Powell在1940年弹的音乐， 1950的 Bill evans，1960年的Mccoy Tyner 和Herbie Hancock，1970年的MMUlgrew Miller，1080年的Benny Geen等等作为爵士乐学习者，你要有一个开放的耳朵和心Mark levine在书中写到：“A good definition of an interval is ‘the space between two notes”即音程可以定义为两个音之间的空间距离The chart that follows shows all the intervals， both ascending and des[来自wwW.L]cending ，as they occur in tunes from the standard jazz repertoire. Unless otherwise noted of the song ，the interval in question is the first two melody notes of the song. Play each example and sing the interval.If you can sing an interval accurately .It will be easier to play when improvising. Listen carefully to all the 。
