Jazz and Kids

Experience jazz in the music classroom with this swingin' collection designed for kids! Each song is written and arranged in a distinctive jazz style, or groove, along with ideas and suggestions to keep it fun - with added movements, singing games, or activities - learning music concepts in the process. The music, piano/vocal arrangements, and recordings are authentic and true to the jazz idiom. Digital access includes three audio mixes - with vocals, without vocals, and with only the second vocal part - and PDFs of singer parts for projection and reproducible options. Once young singers have the melody in the ear, add the second part, add movement, or keep it simple and sing along and play. Experience 12-bar blues, scat singing, call and response, improvisation, swing, New Orleans ssecond line and more! Songs include: Jungle Jazz; Jungle Jam; Five Little Monkeys; Shoo Fly; Miss Mary Mack; I’m So Sorry/Let’s Celebrate; Singing This Song and a 12-bar blues in C activity.
