Can couldn't read and didn't know theory when he started in college.
No jazz curriculum that I know of stresses theory over listening, feeling or playing by ear. Private lessons is another matter altogether.

Jack is a real teacher. I would maybe look at what real teachers actually teach and ask them.
Most of the ones that have things in print say things about transcribing a lot. The fact that that is a one sentence description of a PROCESS doesn't make it less important than the paragraphs about things which can be easily printed.Last edited by matt.guitarteacher; 10-01-2015 at 05:36 PM.

My friend Alfonso's description of his music-theory card game, Musicathlon, and promotional video in Spanish:
"Musicathlon's objective is to favour musical learning through game, either alone or in a group.
To accomplish this, we provide a deck of cards that generate the exercises when combined correctly. When you work in a group, Musicathlon makes it possible to practice several aspects of music theory in many different ways using traditional card games. Musicathlon stimulates the players' creativity because of this, allowing them to generate their own games.
Given the number of cards that make up Musicathlon and the multiple ways they can be combined, each game is different to the next. Repeated questions are avoided in this way, encouraging dynamic learning.
The solutions to the different games aren't provided and so Musicathlon is devised as support material for teachers. However, it is also for students who want to test their musical knowledge and those who want to start learning music in a fun way.
The cards may be selected prior to starting the game according to the players' level of musical knowledge. As a result, Musicathlon adapts to all levels, from beginners to advanced students.
You can play Musicathlon in two ways: physical card game and online. Both versions offer different approaches to the same game. You'll be able to enjoy them soon!"

I just found an interesting youtube video with million views, called "Play Songs By Ear". What I want to say is that music theory and hearing is supporting each other. We can't learn music theory without hearing
