About This Collection
Description
HXmusic offers method books and jazz ensemble arrangements for a range of instruments and skill levels. The Charting the Course series by Ryan Fraley dominates the collection, with separate volumes for bass clef, B-flat, C, piano, and drum set at grades 2 to 2.5, plus holiday arrangements. Beyond the method books, you'll find jazz ensemble scores from composers like Monika Herzig, Jamie Roth, and Josh Weirich, alongside concert band and solo with ensemble options.
Highlights

The Charting the Course Christmas Collection rounds out the series with seasonal arrangements in B-Flat and E-Flat. For jazz ensembles, Monika Herzig's Plenty of Nothing and Jamie Roth's El Ritmo del Malecón and Spherical offer engaging material across multiple grades.

Composer Spotlight
Ryan Fraley built his reputation on the Charting the Course method series, which covers eight different instrument families with consistent pedagogical sequencing from grade 2 to 2.5. His approach integrates concert band and jazz idioms while maintaining accessibility for younger ensembles.
Monika Herzig came to the United States from Germany in 1988 on a one-way ticket and went on to earn her doctorate in Music Education with a minor in Jazz Studies from Indiana University, where she now teaches. Her jazz ensemble arrangements like Plenty of Nothing bring sophisticated harmonic language and chamber-like intimacy to ensemble settings without sacrificing playability.
