About this collection
Play-Alongs
Play-alongs let you perform with backing tracks, turning solo practice into a full ensemble experience. This collection spans jazz standards to movie themes, with titles like John Riley's Art of Bop Drumming and Howard Shore's Lord of the Rings Instrumental Solos drawing players across genres and skill levels. Most books pair sheet music with online audio or software accompaniments, so you hear exactly how your part fits with the rest of the band.
Who it's for
- Jazz students and drummers working on improvisation
- Instrumentalists (trumpet, violin, flute, saxophone) preparing solo material
- Private teachers looking for engaging practice tools with backing tracks
What's inside
- Sheet music books paired with online audio or software accompaniments
- Jazz methods (Jamey Aebersold series), drumset technique, and instrumental solos from movies and Broadway
- Solo parts for saxophone, trumpet, flute, trombone, violin, cello, and guitar at Levels 1-3
- Multiple delivery formats: physical books with CDs or digital downloads with enhanced audio and PDF score
Things to consider
Match the book's level to your current ability—Levels 1-2 work well for newer players, while Level 2-3 and Intermediate/Advanced suit players comfortable reading and playing with minimal guidance. Check the format: books with online audio let you slow down and loop sections using the software, while standard CDs play at one tempo. If you're learning jazz, start with Jamey Aebersold's foundational volumes before moving to single-tune play-alongs.
