Jazz Music

Hi children!

In 4th Grade we are studying Jazz Music. I’m going to give you some links to listen, learn and review this musical style.

In the PBS Kids website, Chuck Vanderchuck and his friend Ramona explain to us things about Jazz Music and others musical styles in a funny way, for example: instruments and their sounds, song structure, lyric writing, musical styles, and ear training. You can also play a series of mini games that prepare you for “the big gig”.

You can listen to some examples of jazz music by clicking on these links:

• I wanna be like you (from “The Jungle Book”)

•  Heigh ho, heigh ho (From “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”)

•  What a wonderful world (Louis Armstrong)

I hope you enjoy Jazz Music!
