Description
Advance Music publishes over 1000 titles focused on jazz, Latin, and classical arrangements for small ensembles and soloists. Teachers turn to this catalog for jazz pedagogy and improvisation instruction, particularly Jim Snidero's Jazz Conception series, which covers trumpet, saxophone, and other winds at multiple levels. You'll also find Hal Crook's How To Improvise: Book & Online Audio, a best seller for students ready to develop real improvisational skill, alongside classical transcriptions like Bach's Six Suites for Violoncello Solo arranged for saxophone.
Highlights

Hal Crook's How To Improvise: Book & Online Audio remains the most popular single title in the collection, valued for its practical approach to building improvisation from the ground up.
Recently added
Recent additions include Bill Mays' Play Song for saxophones, Matthew Schoendorff's In Search of... The Wild Saxamuhphones, Armen Donelian's Metropolitan Madness for woodwind quintet, and Jim Snidero's River Suite for jazz ensemble, all released in the last six months.
Composer & Author Spotlight
Jim Snidero is a saxophonist, composer, and educator who has spent thirty-five years building a reputation as one of the finest jazz musicians of his generation. Downbeat Magazine has called him both a "master musician" and "alto saxophone virtuoso," and his Jazz Conception series for saxophone and trumpet spans easy through advanced levels, making him essential for any jazz program. His work dominates this collection with 77 titles and consistently strong teacher adoption.
Bill Dobbins contributes 66 titles to Advance Music and brings deep expertise in jazz arranging and composition. His Jazz Arranging & Composing: Book & Online Audio serves teachers who want to help students understand the principles behind the music they're learning to play.
Hal Crook's How To Improvise stands apart as the single best-selling title across the entire collection. His method addresses what many jazz students struggle with most: how to actually begin improvising rather than simply learning patterns.
