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. :-)
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.
This is perfect for my grandson!
Gave it to grandson who is just starting trumpet.
