Old Time Jazz Recordings

Lots of historic jazz recordings in Real Audio format. Nice when kids want to know what Bix Beiderbechke sounded like.

Jazz Resource Library

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Here is another great resource for jazz educators. The Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz has a Jazz Resource Library, including style sheets by David Baker, listening examples and photos. The links page includes many more resources for jazz educators. Jazz in America offers a curriculum, including lesson plans, worksheets and test banks for grade 5, 8 and 11.

JazzTube

There is just so much great stuff on YouTube for teachers and students. At JazzTube there is an amazing collection of jazz clips. A great opportunity (if YouTube is not blocked at your school) to expose students to these musicians and their style of music.
