Notes de l'éditeur
- This unit should be taught to children for a number of reasons. The most important reason is that Jazz is America's original art form, and children should be made aware of its help in the making of today's popular music. It teaches students things such as improvisation, syncopated rhythms, and swing styles of music. Once students grasp the concept of jazz, it will be easier for them to understand all other forms of music that come after it. Some of the main ideas that should stick are: steady tempo, improvisation, swing style, early American history, syncopated rhythms, instrumental communication, learning the different instrument families, learning about the blues and its role in making Jazz music, intonation, singing with feeling, and telling a story by playing and singing, and knowing some early Jazz performers/composers.
