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.
