Things to consider
Grade 2 charts work best for ensembles with basic instrument control but limited advanced jazz vocabulary. Look for arrangements that list all parts you need on the product page, since ensemble scoring varies. If your group is split between absolute beginners and stronger readers, Grade 2.5 titles offer a gentle step up without overwhelming.
