Standard of Excellence Advanced
Jazz Ensemble Method
Dean Sorenson & Bruce Pearson.
Here is the sequel to the groundbreaking pedagogy introduced in the Standard of
Excellence Jazz Ensemble Method. This comprehensive method can be used by
students who have completed the first book, or any student with intermediate-level
instrumental skills and at least one year of jazz ensemble experience. Building upon
the skills introduced in the first book, the Advanced method focuses on improvisation
and its integration into full jazz ensemble performance. Each student book comes
with a demonstration/accompaniment CD and continues the non-theoretical, aurally-
based approach of the first book. It's perfect for advanced middle and high school
jazz ensembles or students of any age who have played in jazz ensembles but never
formally studied improvisation. The 500+ page Director's Score includes everything
in the student books, plus Director Tips, Student Enrichments, duplicable Listening
Worksheets and Rhythm Studies, a Jazz Ensemble Director's Guide, Glossary of Jazz
Terms and two CDs! It's not just a method, it's a curriculum! Your students and your
jazz ensemble as a whole will reap huge rewards with this!

Very comprehensive resource for physical and
ePrint music. Their "Editors' Choice" selections
have always been a great starting point for
choosing concert and festival literature. Everything
from solo to large ensembles in vocal and
instrumental literature. Over the nearly 30 years in
my field working with them, they have consistently
gone above and beyond to address any order
concerns. Outstanding customer service.
