Welcome to Smile and Learn! Today, we’re going to dive into the world of jazz, a special type of music that started in the southern part of the United States. Jazz began to take shape in the early 1900s, and it uses lots of different instruments like strings, winds, and percussion.

What Makes Jazz Special?

Have you ever heard jazz music before? It sounds quite different from other types of music like classical or opera. Jazz has its own unique sound that makes it stand out. One of the coolest things about jazz is something called improvisation. This means that musicians make up music on the spot while they are playing. It’s like creating a new song every time they perform!

For example, use a pot and spoon as a drum or fill a container with rice to make a shaker. Try to create your own jazz band by playing these instruments. Can you make up a tune on the spot, just like jazz musicians do with improvisation? Share your music with your family and see if they can join in!

  2. Jazz Listening Adventure: Listen to a few different jazz songs with your family. As you listen, try to identify the different instruments you hear. Can you hear the piano, saxophone, or drums? Talk about how each instrument sounds and what you like about it. Try to imagine what the musicians might be feeling or thinking as they improvise their music.
