Firs
t Place for Jazz is a
comprehensive jazz
curriculum built from the
ground up - essential for
implementing the 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 12 original grade 1-2
Jazz Ensemble Charts and
Lead Sheets. Suitable for
group or individual
instruction, this unique
organization, combined
with a host of innovative
features including Kjos
Interactive Practice
Studio and availability
in SmartMusic, will
provide bands with the
tools it will
need.
