About This Collection
Description
Ryan Fraley's Charting the Course method books dominate this collection, offering instrument-specific pathways for jazz fundamentals across bass clef, B-flat, C, piano, and drum set. The collection spans grades 1.5 through 5, with material suited to jazz ensembles and small groups working in swing, blues, Latin, and rock idioms. Recent additions include original compositions from established voices like Bill Mays, Jim McNeely, and Armen Donelian, all scored for saxophones or woodwind quintets.
Highlights
Teachers keep coming back to Fraley's method books, particularly Charting the Course, Bass Clef Book 1 and the Charting the Course Christmas Collection across multiple transpositions. Richard Byrd's Challenging Jazz Duets Volume 4 (trombone) and Vince Gassi's Just for Two Easy Jazz (2 trumpets) provide accessible yet musically engaging material for students building ensemble skills.
Recently added
Bill Mays' Play Song and Jim McNeely's Three Conversations both scored for four saxophones offer contemporary additions to the saxophone quartet repertoire. Fred Sturm's Picasso Cubed and Matthew Schoendorff's In Search of... The Wild Saxamuhphones bring further variety to the same instrumentation.
Composer Spotlight
Ryan Fraley has built a comprehensive pedagogical system with Charting the Course, addressing every major jazz instrument with method books graded 2 to 2.5 that work both solo and in ensemble contexts. His Christmas Collection extends the series into accessible seasonal material.
Vince Gassi brings over 100 published titles to this collection, working as a composer, conductor, and clinician since 2006. His works balance musical reward with accessibility, appearing regularly on contest and concert programs internationally.
Josh Weirich and Ramon Ricker contribute material that shifts toward intermediate and advanced players, with Ricker's Saxology series targeting accomplished saxophone ensembles working across multiple saxophones and rhythm section.
