About this collection
HXmusic
HXmusic is a collection of 146 jazz and popular music titles for ensembles at grades 1.5 through 5. Built around Ryan Fraley's popular Charting the Course method series, this collection spans jazz standards, swing, rock, blues, and holiday pops arrangements. You'll find everything from full jazz ensemble scores and parts to instrumental method books in all concert and transposed keys, plus combo charts for smaller groups.
Who it's for
- Jazz ensemble directors building curriculum from beginner through intermediate levels
- Private instructors teaching jazz piano, guitar, bass, and drums
- Band directors adding jazz and popular music to their programs
What's inside
- Charting the Course method books for all instruments: B-flat, E-flat, bass clef, C, piano, and drumset at grades 2-2.5
- 92 jazz ensemble charts plus 32 small combo arrangements in score and parts formats
- 146 titles spanning jazz, swing, rock, blues, standards, and holiday pops at grades 1.5-5

Things to consider
Start beginner students with Charting the Course Book 1 in their instrument key (grades 2-2.5), then progress through subsequent books as they advance. If you're building a full jazz program, pair method books with ensemble charts at matching grade levels to reinforce concepts in real repertoire. For combo work, the 32 small group arrangements let you run simultaneous ensembles or break your big band into sections for focused rehearsal.
