From Pat Harbison - 2024 Student Repertoire List:
Level One is intended to be entry level tunes. Even if you consider yourself to be an advanced player, be sure you know all the tunes on the Level One list before going after more adventurous fare. Learn all the tunes on Level Two before heading to Level Three. Learn the melody by ear from the playlist example(s). Try and figure out the harmony. DO NOT USE ANY PRINTED MUSIC OR IREAL, ETC!!! After you have the melody and as much of the harmony as you can figure out by ear, get a reliable published version (Jamey book, Real Book etc) and compare. Note that these are simply suggested tunes. As the week progresses, tunes may be used that are not on this list.
The Spotify Playlist can be found here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2TqQbicfaFczYNg63W6H2h?si=bfe2818b80614f92
