Program Type
Residency
Description
In Jazzing Up Learning: Hit the Road, Jack, and Learn to Scat!, students explore Jazz music by learning a vocal improvisation language called “scat singing.” Students discover and practice this skill through vocal activities, music, and games; and learn to sing a Jazz melody and take on the social issue of bullying through a lyrical adaptation of the song, “Hit the Road, Jack!” Then, students hit the stage to showcase their scat improvisational skills in a live performance for their peers. A tuned piano or keyboard is requested.
Typically, residencies range from $2,500 and up, but we can use your available budget and ‘work backwards’ to create a cost-effective residency for your school. We may be able to assist you in securing grant and funding opportunities.
Residencies are tailored to your needs but usually include:
- A kick-off assembly (performing arts only)
- A required orientation meeting and planning session
- A set of workshops for classes of up to 25 students each
- A student culminating or sharing event
- An evaluation meeting
