In this introductory unit, your students will discover four different styles of jazz, hear the sounds of jazz instruments and meet Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker and Miles Davis -- four great musicians who created and shaped this genre. This kit includes an informative teacher's guide, a set of flashcards for review and a CD with "real" instrumental examples. Style By Numbers and Three in a Row are two fast-paced cooperative-learning/whole-group activities that are easy to teach and designed to reinforce the music, musicians and concepts presented.
