Amanda CarterThe PBS Kids Jazz website has a wealth of information and activities. The five major subheadings are: Timeline, Join the jazz band, jazz greats, bandleader, and meet a musician. The timeline section is an interactive timeline that dates back to the 1700's. The Jazz greats section has detailed biographies of Jazz greats like Miles Davis and Billie Holiday. The meet a musician section allows you do answer some questions that you may have about different musicians. The bandleader section is fun also but, my favorite is the Join the jazz band section. It isn't quite as the title suggests, it is more of an interactive quiz to see what you have learned while teaching you some jazz trivia. The Jazz trivia is quite fun and interesting! (Student activity: Go to the Join the jazz band section and go through the entire section. What was the most interesting thing you learned?)

edtechdiva xThe PBS Kids Jazz website introduces the basic concepts of jazz. Video clips allow kids to hear working musicians discuss their craft and to listen to variety of jazz styles — bebop, cool jazz, and swing — so kids can observe the differences in rhythm and pacing. Finally, students can try their own hand through Band Leader, an interactive program that allows kids to put different combinations of instruments together to play a jazzy version of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Warning: a few poor instrument choices and the clip sounds AWFUL, but kids will love it anyway.
