Materials needed: Jazz Combo music & instruments: When the Saints Go Marching In from
Jamey Aebersold fakebook (traditional Dixieland classics), tenor saxophone (for modeling),
source recording (Louie Armstrong), backtrack (Jamey Aebersold book)
Standards:
Strand 1 Concept 2: PO 404. identifying and playing individually and with others all note and rest values as
encountered in the repertoire.
Strand 1 Concept 3: PO 201: playing simple improvised melodies within an appropriate harmonic structure
for a minimum of 8 measures over an accompaniment within teacher specified guidelines.
Objective(s)/Assessment:
Students will discuss Dixieland form and distinguish between voices in the source
recording (trumpet
melody, clarinet response/answer, trombone bass line). Students will answer
questions based on the
recording to demonstrate understanding of basic instrument roles. Students will
practice playing different
roles melody/embellished melody (trumpet), response (clarinet), bass line (low
saxophones),
improvised solos on basic chord progression I-V-I I-IV-ii-V-I
Personal objective: I will use questioning that challenges the students to think about
and analyze the
recording, and I will give feedback that will improve students improvising skills.
