This website gives full lesson plans that music educators can use to help students learn about jazz music. It was very helpful for my general music students when they learned about jazz back in March. It also has language arts, social studies, and math lessons in the event that you can get teachers from other subject areas to jump on board. I was also thinking that it would be a good lesson to teach kids about the blues progression and perhaps do some composition in the blues style.
