My friends and I have formed a small jazz ensemble and we are wondering what music to play. We have a bass, piano, drums, alto sax, trumpet and maybe a trombone if the music calls for one. Also how and where can a couple of high school students get music without spending too much? Thanks.Where can we get jazz sheet music that will fit our group?
OMG! COOL! I will try to help as much as I can, cause I'm a pianist and alto saxophonist!

SHEET MUSIC=
Thousands of sheet music for free (and printable!) got to this site and make an account:
http://sheetmusicpublicdomain.com/?place鈥?/a>
-When you made your account, search for jazz music! (don't forget the ones I listed!)
ADVICE=
Go to a local family music store, talk to an older sales person (in their 50's or 60's), ask them about their favorite jazz bands, and research those band names!
ALSO, if you have an older grandparent, relative, or friend of your parents who listened to that kind
of music - ask them!
My grandpa just died in January...he loved music...My mom said that was all she listened to when she was a little girl...most of this advice CAME from my mom actually, lol.
....that's all the best advice you could possibly get from one musician to another! (...and from my mom! lol)
Good luck! :DWhere can we get jazz sheet music that will fit our group?
Here's What My Jazz Quintet Does:
1. Get a ';RealBook'; They are essentially the bible of Jazz Musicians. It has hundreds of Jazz, Latin, Ballads, and Funk tunes in it. For each song. there is the ';Head'; (or the melody), and chord symbols. Learn the melody and add harmony based on the chord symbols. Then, usually, the musicians solo over the chord changes, and then play the ';Head'; again and end the tune. They are available at virtually any music store. (Honestly your best bet)
2. Write Your Own Songs: (Think of something simple, like a waterfall, and go to the piano and play a few simple chords that remind you of a waterfall. Then add instrument and instrument and create a simplistic melody and add harmony's (3rd, 4th, 5th of the root note, sound nice) You will be surprised at how easy music and ideas will come to you.
3. YouTube: Believe it or not, if you guys are good at hearing notes and being able to play them on your instruments without music, you can learn a lot of cool tunes and use them as ideas for your own songs.
4. Google Search: There are some really cool free charts on the web. Search for ';Free Sheet Music Jazz'; or something along those lines.

Where to get toddler bed sheet sets (fitted bottom, top flat)?
I have searched for bottom and top sheets for a toddler bed and cannot find any without having to buy a whole bedding set that also includes the comforter. These sets are not that cheap ($35 and up) and we already have quite a few comforters that were hand made and given to us before my grandson was born.
So, I do have a sewing machine, but finding the time is another question and cost wise...would it be cheaper to make? Fitted bottom sheets run $6.89 to $10 at walmart.
What is your opinion or have you found sheet sets (without the comforters) for decent prices and where?
Thank you to all who answer.Where to get toddler bed sheet sets (fitted bottom, top flat)?
I too asked this question before, I know you can use regular crib sheets but wanted the top sheet as well. I haven't looked into getting any, but just found these for you -

I have not seen any stores with just the sheet set (outside of just a fitted crib sheet), although I haven't looked in earnest yet.... I was about to go searching for this myself. I did briefly look at eBay a few months ago, and there seemed to be a lot of options without the comforter. Good luck!
you can find them at walmart and target for sure... just look in the baby department for the crib sheets because you use a crib mattress on a toddler bed.
I use a standard twin set, it works really well and the ones that seem big just tuck really tight under neath or even get a pin and pin the loose ends on the mattress
I found fitted sheets with a blanket at target.
baby crib sheets fit a toddler bed and are sold separately just about anywhere!
I'd check Baby's R US?!

I have fitted sheets with valances?
These sheets always wrinkle and pull away from the corners every day. How can I get them to stay neat and unwrinkled?I have fitted sheets with valances?
Is it one of the fitted sheets that come with the valance attached. I had one of those and had the same problem.
You can buy a separate valance and sheet but its a flipping nuisance so I just did away with the valance and bought a throw which comes down to floor level.
That means you cant see the base of the bed which I think is ugly because it has drawers in it.I have fitted sheets with valances?
You can buy straps. They clip onto the sheet, across the corners, you then slip the elastic underneath the corner of the mattress with the sheet %26amp; these hold the sheets on properly. I think they might be called gripper straps for sheets, check on ebay. They really work.
Don't pay too much, I think mine cost about 拢2 for a set of 4.
valance sheets are to go under the mattress not on top of the matress.
buy ordinary fitted sheets and you will be ok!

Can I buy ';fitted'; sheets and not a set?
I have 4 or 5 regular sheets (single bed) but I need fitted sheets. I'm a bachelor, they don't have to match. Where can I purchase just bottom sheets?Can I buy ';fitted'; sheets and not a set?
Hi, yes you can buy just the fitted sheets at just about any department store. Wal-Mart usually has the best price for those but you can find them any Penney鈥檚, Wards, K-Mart etc and twins are usually fairly cheap compared to the larger sizes.Can I buy ';fitted'; sheets and not a set?
Macys is a good place because they have sales on decent sheets. I find they are just as inexpensive as say Kmart (and better quality) if you get em on sale, and macys is always having a sale it seems like.
Edit: Posted a link for macys I dont oreder online but just so you get an idea. These Ralph Lauren are decent
Hi there,
If you are in the UK try morrison's, asda or tesco's. I often get the morrison fitted sheets in both single and double. Usually the colours are blue, white or cream.
Hope this helps, have a great weekend :-)

Ho do you fold fitted sheets and mke them look neat? Seriously !?
Both of these sites show how it is done. I've been folding those darn fitted sheets for years and the two sites below easily demonstrate this hair pulling ordeal of laundry day. But I promise you it really isn't all that difficult. It just takes a little practice.
A little trick I've learned....When folding sheet sets save one pillow case to put the fitted sheet and flat sheet with one pillow case inside the unfolded pillow case. This way the entire set is always together and will not get mixed up with other items in the laundry closet.Ho do you fold fitted sheets and mke them look neat? Seriously !?
Lay the sheet flat, with the corners in, then fold the sides to the middle and then the ends, you end up with a sheet that you can fold over to the center, and then fold again, now that you have done that fold in half and again. Should be a nice little package. Good luck.Ho do you fold fitted sheets and mke them look neat? Seriously !?
According to Martha Stewart, you lay them on bed, fold the long way, take fitted part and place one into other, then fold the end up even where fitted is inside the end of rectangle, do both ends, then fold in half, fold in half again %26amp; one fold across. The perfect fitted sheet folded flat. Hey, she was on Oprah.
Haven't figured that one out yet...sorry

Does a resume have to fit on one sheet of paper?
Are resumes always on one sheet or can they be a little bit longer?Does a resume have to fit on one sheet of paper?
I wouldn't go over a page. When handling so many pages of so many resumes, a second page makes a difference.
What size is your format? Can you make it smaller, leave out a word or two, space it differently???
Here is a spectacular website:
http://jobsearch.about.com/od/resumes/Re鈥?/a>Does a resume have to fit on one sheet of paper?
This depends on the resume. In my experience, most employers will prefer one sheet, but if you have more applicable experience or skills than will fit on one sheet, then you should certainly include them. For example, my husband has experience in multiple science careers as well as expert knowledge of many scientific computer programs and techniques. When using a chronological resume, it is about a page and a half. When using a functional resume, which focuses more on his skills, it still fits on one page.
One sheet is bollocks. It all depends on how much experience you have. A resume should always be kept as concise as possible, but at the same time you need to reflect what you did at your positions and your technical skills. Don't force the HR people to become mind readers because they wont even bother calling you for an interview if they have to be guessing what you can offer their company. A lot of resumes are also electronically stored, meaning they use keywords to pull relevant resumes up. Hence, if your resume is vague it will NEVER trigger a pull.
It is often preferable to keep a resume to only one page; however, ensure that the font is not shrunk to the point that it is illegible (10 pt. should be considered a minimum). If you feel that in order to maintain a decent font size an extra page is needed, this second page will likely not make a negative impact.
it depends on what the resume is being used for, and it doesn't HAVE to fit on one sheet, but it is common for an employer to prefer to look at one sheet with the candidate's major accomplishments as opposed to multiple with everything.
Yeah keep it to one page but fill that thing up as much as you can while trying to keep it organized looking. Try to have your best features stand out and make them remember yours!
usually one, especially in the business arena.
Older employees may have more.eye shadow

I am looking for a fitted King size sheet with measurement of 72'; x 75.2';. Where ?
Hi, Here are the size of king mattresses and the fitted sheets are the same size.
Standard King 76”x80”
California King 72”x84”
(aka Western King)
Eastern King 78”x80”
Your measurements will be closest to a california king. You could just tuck in the extra or get them altered. Hope this helps.
http://www.bestratedmattresses.com/king-…I am looking for a fitted King size sheet with measurement of 72'; x 75.2';. Where ?
DM, if that's the size of the top of the mattress, it appears to be something non-standard. King mattresses are 76'; (wide) by 80'; and a California King is 72'; by 84';.
Your size is shorter than any mattress (Queens are 80'; long, too) except Twin Extra Long, and those are nowhere near the width you need, of course.
Best bet is to buy a standard King and tuck the excess near the foot (or modify it yourself).
