Title: Teaching Jazz Improvisation
Course Section Number: EDU-230-01
Department: Education
Description: EDU-230-01=MUS-204-01 This course will focus on learning how to improvise with the Blues, and then teaching that improvisational skill to K - 12 school-age students in their native educational environment. Students will spend the first six weeks of the course on the Wabash campus learning, first, how to improvise with the blues and, second, how to teach this skill to younger students. Wabash students will be divided up into groups of 2 - 3 who will then be placed in a classroom corresponding with their age-level interests. The second half of the course will then be spent in an area K - 12 music classroom, teaching school-age students these improvisational skills. Wabash students will receive specific pedagogical methods appropriate for the age group in which they will be working, and the instructor will be able to observe their in-classroom teaching several times throughout the second half of the semester. While the ability to read music is not a requirement for this class, the willingness to sing for others (for teaching and demonstration) is a necessity.
