Jazz Studies
Director Antonio García has presented his workshop “Jazz: A Bridge to Better
Understanding”"to music educators at state and international conferences. The
music and history of jazz provide a ready bridge to your students' exploration
of other subjects, including language/speech, history/social studies, math,
physics, religion, physical education, and psychology. Civil rights and social
justice issues have been constants expressed by jazz musicians. Explore ways
you can heighten your students' awareness of the roots of jazz—and in the
process, consider grants and activities that can enhance your relationship with
and funding from your community.
