Edition: Paperback Book & MP3 Downloads

Description

The second edition of The Jazz Educator’s Handbook has been revised and updated by co-authors Doug Beach and Jeff Jarvis. First published in 2002 this new edition has been streamlined and  modernized for the contemporary classroom. Whether you are a veteran jazz educator or a band director with minimal jazz experience this resource offers field-tested strategies to help you offer the best possible training for your students. In addition to the many printed music examples in the book there are over 150 mp3 audio recordings that complement the text available for download.

“Doug Beach and I co-authored the 1st edition of Jazz Educators Handbook to assist band directors with disparate levels of jazz experience. Since that time, educators around the world have used our suggestions to help their students learn and enjoy jazz music. But since the original publishing date of 2002, teaching strategies have been continually transformed by daily advances in music technology. What hasn’t changed is the human dynamic; jazz educators are still driven by passion for the music and the insatiable desire to teach. We hope the 2nd edition’s updated information, combined with your experience and instincts, will help jazz music to evolve for years to come.”

-Jeff Jarvis, co-author
