Welcome To JazzSLAM

For one hour, students soar out of their everyday world as they clap, stomp & dance with our live, intergenerational, multicultural jazz quartet. They experience how song forms and improvisation are similar to writing essays. They learn how “Read, Think & Respond” questions are similar to the “12 Bar Blues”; how Narrative Essay Form is similar to “A-A-B-A” Song Form; and how Opinion and Explanatory Essay Forms are similar to “Verse-Chorus” Song Form.

Students reach new levels of understanding mathematical concepts by experiencing how Units of Measurement (Math Subdivisions) are similar to the subdivisions of The Musical Beat.
