    • yet this book (and all others like it), out of necessity
Here's a helpful book for a step-by-step approach for kids to learn about jazz, and learn to play it. Only two issues to keep in mind, from my point of view as a teacher: 1) The play-along exercises and pieces are at slow tempos, which makes it harder for students to get into the jazz feeling of what they are playing. And 2) Jazz needs to be internalized, and the student freed up from the notes on the page, yet this book (and all others like it), out of necessity, must teach using its "notes on the page" and their accompanying explanations. Because of this there is the danger that students will focus on that written music and miss the experience of cutting loose and playing their jazz from the heart. Still, I appreciate this book and use it whenever I can. ... show more

    • This book is awesome!
This book is awesome! It does a great job of explaining to a beginner jazz player how to understand the many symbols of jazz. As a music educator, I highly recommend this book. The CDs are a wonderful enhancement, but the book itself is very well laid out and full of exactly what a first year jazz student needs. This is not a good book for a first year trumpet player, but rather, it is good for the second or third year player. The player should be able to understand eighth notes and have the ability to play at least one octave. This book is good for both learning on your own or learning with the group. :-) ... show more

    • love this book!
I have taught several students out of the trumpet book in this series and I find it to be some of the best material for teaching kids how to play jazz. It is excellent as all the Essential Elements books are. This teaches how to play jazz in a methodical way that students can understand. The CD is invaluable in teaching students what they should sound like. I can't rate these books high enough. I really like just sitting playing with the CD myself. Excellent also for teaching kids to get started in improv. ... show more

    • Great Workout for aspiring jazz players
The series of this this book cover all instruments in a jazz ensemble. I bought them to use in my jazz development as there are very good exercises and techniques covered. Having the audio of how what you are playing should sound is a big help to me.
