Independent shopping perspective
Designed for vibes and auxiliary percussion, this level-1 player book belongs to the Standard of Excellence Jazz Ensemble Method. Its material is organized into rock, swing, and Latin sections, each with rhythm and improvisation studies before the method's 13 jazz charts put those ideas into ensemble use. It is aimed at school, community, and private-studio settings. Flexible scoring allows the method to be used by ensembles with less than standard full instrumentation.
