A special note to teachers:
Please don't worry if many of the concepts seem to be too advanced for the students. The important thing is that the students understand that jazz is a style of music, are exposed to it, and perhaps, through some of the books listed under "Further Activities," discover an affinity for it. Thanks for listening!
