'a comprehensive, intelligent, beautifully packaged presentation.' Piano (UK 1998) 'awe-inspiring in its thoroughness. ... Especially impressive in this series are the specific scales, aural skills and piano pieces - a pedagogical marvel that Americans would do well to emulate.' Piano & Keyboard May/June 1999 (USA) 'The new Associated Board jazz syllabus is not only timely for young and not so young Australian musicians now clamouring to know more about jazz - it is an attractive , well-thought through compilation of 'real' jazz knowledge that will get authentic results. Well done the Associated Board!' Associate Professor Patrick Crichton, Head of Jazz Studies, Western Australian Conservatorium of Music 'The arrival of the Associated Board's jazz syllabus marks a vital step towards recognition that jazz requires study and discipline like any other art form.' Stuart Nicholson, Author 'Jazz Rock: a History' and 'Billie Holiday' 'The ABRSM's syllabus is a very positive thing and I endorse it completely.'
