Jazz For Young People Curriculum

This multimedia jazz appreciation kit is based on Jazz at Lincoln Center's popular Jazz for Young People TM concert series. Designed primarily for upperelementary and middle school students, it is also well-suited for high school and college music appreciation, introduction to jazz, and music education courses. The curriculum explores core concepts -- including improvisation, form, style, and swing -- and major figures in jazz through accessible, interactive lessons. Because it was written for both musicians and non-musicians, the Jazz for Young People Curriculum is perfect for any teacherwho wants an entertaining and structured way to bring jazz into the classroom.
