Description
Essential Elements for Jazz Ensemble - Conductor Book & 2 CDs
Essential Elements for Jazz Ensemble - Conductor by Mike Steinel is a comprehensive method for introducing jazz style and improvisation to students with around one to two years of playing experience. This edition includes the conductor book and two CDs.
Teach Jazz Style Step by Step
The method introduces swing feel, improvisation, scales and basic jazz theory in a gradual, classroom-friendly sequence. Play-along tracks support the exercises, while seven full-band arrangements, sample solos and material on jazz history give directors a complete foundation for an entry-level jazz ensemble.

Our Take
A very practical first jazz-ensemble method because it teaches style, theory and improvisation together instead of expecting students to understand jazz conventions before they begin.
