Lesson Plan

The Kennedy Center: Musical Harlem

Curated by ACT

The Kennedy Center's ArtsEdge offers a great unit for introducing jazz to learners. Its use of Harlem as the "glue" which binds together elements such as jazz history and jazz terminology, makes it particularly effective for the classroom. With a few adaptations, the unit could even be used with higher grades.
