These video clips provide different styles of jazz music, including Dixieland Jazz, Swing Jazz, Latin Jazz, Cool Jazz, Bepop, Free Jazz and Jazz Rock. Children will use their knowledge of the different jazz styles, what instruments are used and the way it sounds to match which era the music came from meeting the Creative Arts outcome MUS2.1. (MUS2.1: Sings, plays and moves to a range of music, demonstrating a basic knowledge of musical concepts). Pupils will then decide on their favourite style of jazz music, and write a paragraph detailing why they like it, which period it emerged, how it makes them feel and whether or not they think it will be popular in today’s society. Teachers will use this writing piece to meet the outcomes WS2.9 and WS2.11 from the English syllabus. WS2.9: Drafts, revises, proofreads and publishes well-structured texts that are more demanding in terms of topic, audience and written language features. WS2.11: Uses knowledge of letter–sound correspondences, common letter patterns and a range of strategies to spell familiar and unfamiliar words. The indicators addressed will be based on how well the text is structured and the spelling strategies that children use.

Most classrooms have interactive whiteboards which act as an engaging and supportive learning tool. Video clips from YouTube can be very useful for students and teachers to use in the everyday classroom. It’s easy for teachers, convenient and there are no costs associated with downloading songs. Even if teachers don’t want to show the video clips, the songs can still be played which saves time and money from buying CDs or downloading various jazz songs. Obviously this resource will not be valuable for a teacher who doesn’t have an interactive whiteboard in the classroom. Teachers will still need to prepare for using these videos, checking what content is available and if it’s suitable for their class to view. Teachers should be aware that on the side of the videos and once the clip ends there will be links to other videos and the image on them may not be suitable for children.
