Jazz, America

Jazz, America's musical treasure, resonates throughout our culture. Yet, while high school students enjoy diverse artistic opportunities, elementary and middle school students often miss exposure to jazz's historical and cultural richness. To bridge this gap, I propose a dual-purpose program: immersing Kirkwood vocal jazz students in the cultural and historical study of jazz, and collaborating with a local elementary school for an educational experience teaching artistry and arts integration. An element of vocal jazz, "vocalese," involves composing new text to match the melody of an instrumental solo. In collaboration with an elementary grade class, we will craft original material addressing culturally relevant themes. By sharing the joy of singing, fostering cultural awareness, and inspiring future musicians, this initiative aims to create a lasting impact on students' musical education and appreciation.
