“ALL THAT JAZZ” is a 45-minute program for grades 6-12. Beginning with a New Orleans-style Dixieland parade, Hot Horns – with percussion – takes students on a musical journey through Jazz. America’s own musical art form is introduced through a high-energy concert featuring Ragtime, the Blues, Dixieland, Baltimore’s own Eubie Blake and Billie Holiday, as well as Scott Joplin, Duke Ellington, W.C. Handy, Glenn Miller, and Dave Brubeck. Students are introduced to improvisation, instrumentation and syncopation, using music that will leave them clapping, tapping, and finger snapping!
