Things to consider

Start with Essentials of Jazz Theory Book 1 if your students are new to jazz harmony and improvisation concepts. If you're directing a jazz ensemble and want a complete toolbox, pair a theory book with Chop-Monster parts for your section instruments and the Teacher's Answer Key to track student progress. The Rhythm Section Workshop is a stand-alone resource for directors who want to deepen their own understanding of jazz accompaniment.
