This book helps band directors teach and develop successful jazz programs in middle schools and high schools. Ronald E. Kearns provides a step-by-step approach to starting a jazz program, teaching jazz performance, and maintaining the program once it has been established. He addresses a variety of topics, including:

  • the first steps that need to be taken
  • introductory jazz pedagogical skills
  • sample lesson plans
  • suggested literature
  • budget development
  • recruiting

  • classroom management
Oftentimes, band directors—especially those who are classically trained—find themselves woefully unprepared to teach jazz since many colleges and universities only provide a cursory look at teaching or developing a jazz program. This book provides the practical tools to that will help directors overcome these challenges.
