Things to consider

Start by identifying your level or your group's level, as materials range from Very Easy (Grade 0.5) through Advanced (Grade 5). If you're teaching improvisation or composition, pair a theory text like Jerry Coker's Patterns for Jazz or Dan Haerle's The Jazz Language with ensemble charts to apply concepts in real time. For ensemble directors, conductor scores and parts sets let you see the full arrangement while providing individual instrument parts to your musicians.
