What educators are saying
I used this to create a Jazz unit for 6th graders as part of a college assignment and it fit in very well!
We had so much fun with this resource! I loved having the students play the 12-bar blues and having a "soloist" improvise above the boomwhackers on xylophone or piano. So much fun!
