Starting a jazz band can seem like a huge task. You may or may not have any jazz playing experience and are not quite sure where to start..... fear not! With a basic set of players (as few as 9), you can play all the pieces in this series with confidence. How do we set up? How do you teach a drummer to play drum set? All these questions and more will be explained so you can feel confident about creating a great musical experience for your students.

The Emerging Jazz series has been designed for beginning and young players. They can play these exciting original jazz charts written by educators who understand the difficulties with young players: range, technique and comfort level with improvising. Each chart comes with a guitar and drum sheet showing chord voicings and drum notation. Have fun!
