Jazz Education Advice Needed
Jazz Education Advice Needed
I got an email from subscriber yesterday and I thought I would pass along the request to someone who knows more than me about materials out there for teaching young aspiring jazz players. Here is the text....
I wondered if I might impose on you for a recommendation or two. You might remember that I teach at a resource center for home-schooling families, and I'll have a small combo for the first time this Fall, middle to high school. Jazz will be something new to most of them, and I'm looking for some very inexpensive rhythm and scale exercises for warm-ups and to teach some common rhythms and syncopation. Any direction you can give (no pun intended) would be greatly appreciated.
Can anyone make any suggestions here? If you can, just click on the "comments" link below and your comment will be pasted on this page just below this text. Thanks!

Go to marinamusic.com
Under their products link, go to "Jazz Ensemble (Big Band" category. There go to "Warm up/Rehearsal" category. There they have three excellent charts that are appropriate for you.
Thanks so much! These sound very good. I wish there were more samples showing rythm, but your recommendation is good enough. If anyone else has suggestions of where I can find some inexpensive (we're just starting out with litterally no budget) music it will be tremendously appreciated.
