First Place for Jazz
Introductory Method for Jazz Ensemble
Dean Sorenson.
First Place for Jazz is a comprehensive, introductory jazz method and can be essential for
implementing a jazz ensemble curriculum. The book is divided into three sections by key:
Concert Bb, F, and Eb. Within each section the major, Mixolydian, Dorian, and blues scales
and correlated chords of that key are introduced through Jazz Starters, Rhythm Section
Spotlights, and Rhythm Sectionals. These enrichments prepare students to play each of
the twelve grade 1 and 2 Jazz Ensemble Charts and Lead Sheets that are included in the
book. Suitable for group or individual instruction, this unique organization, combined with a
host of innovative features including an online Interactive Practice Studio and availability in
SmartMusic, will provide bands with the tools they need. Additional features include: Aurally
Presented Scales (a foundation for more advanced improvisation study); Progressive Pitch
Sets (students learn to walk before they run); One at a Time Chord Introduction (allows
students to gradually master their harmonic understanding); Rhythm Figures (taken from
the included jazz ensemble charts, helping students to develop an understanding of
phrasing and articulation); Improvisation Practice (giving students the opportunity to apply
what they have learned in the exercises); Let's Check Progress (motivates students by
allowing them to chart their growth); Spotlights (develops the individual skills required of
rhythm section players); Instrument-specific Recordings (provided online in the First Place
for Jazz Interactive Practice Studio for Jazz Starters exercises, charts and Lead Sheets);
Rhythm Sectionals (builds the rhythm section groove for the included Jazz Ensemble
Charts step-by-step) and much, much more! Essential for implementing a comprehensive
jazz curriculum, this method is built from the ground up!
