Resources for all music education settings.
We understand that music teachers need access to tools and content that span across many teaching settings. That’s why we’ve designed lessons to help you do just that.
Instrumental Music
Jazz band, no jazz band? No problem. If you want to explore jazz with your beginning, middle or high school instrumental ensembles, our lessons will help you along the way.
General Music
We’ve designed curriculum materials and lessons to help you introduce your music classes to the magic of jazz. Whether you teach pre-K,elementary, middle or high school, our resources can be adapted for all ages.
Vocal Music
Every voice is unique, and so is the music education that aims to develop it. Our vocal jazz lessons are designed to help you engage your students with the jazz experience - self-expression, improvisation, and more. Whether you have a choir or teach individual lessons, we’re here to help you infuse each student’s voice with the sound of jazz.
