Things to consider

Start with Charting the Course Book 1 (grades 2-2.5) to establish fundamentals across your section before moving to higher-level ensemble charts. Verify that your ensemble has the right instrumentation for each arrangement: jazz charts typically require piano, bass guitar, drums, and horns alongside saxes and trumpets, so confirm part availability before ordering. Digital downloads let you preview or print on demand, while shipped scores work well if you need multiple copies for a full ensemble.
