This resource is designed for students seeking information on dominant extensions in Lydian-based jazz harmony and iconic blues songs like "Smokestack Lightning" by Howlin' Wolf. It emphasizes demystifying the search process for music-related assignments, including effective database search techniques such as proximity and phrase searches. By understanding different contexts—historical, ideological, technical, cultural, aesthetic, and sexual—students will learn that while all music can serve as a resource, not all information must be musical in nature.
