Teaching Instrumental Jazz (1 unit)
In addition to the regular Jazz Residency curriculum, educators may
choose to enroll in an additional class that examines the teaching
of instrumental jazz. Geared towards educators who are new to teaching
jazz or are looking for fresh ideas, this course will be particularly
useful to those looking to start or improve a jazz combo program,
or to enhance the improvisational component of a big band program.
Topics will include improvisation, rhythm section concepts, comping,
organizing rehearsal time, and the development of repertoire and
teaching materials. For questions, email dmiller@stanfordjazz.org.

the professional growth of practicing teachers. While credit can
be used for salary advancement, teachers are advised to gain prior
approval from the appropriate division within their own school district. The University of San Diego operates on the semester system and

approximately
fifteen hours of classroom time. (Most school districts accept
EDU 500-599 series courses as credit for Professional Development
purposes.) |
