What the World Needs Now is Jazz

WEBINAR OVERVIEW
A research presentation from the
2022 JEN Conference, Dallas, TX
In this webinar I imagine a pedagogy of place for the teaching of jazz improvisation. Placed-based pedagogy sees learning as occurring not just within classroom walls, but in the surrounding cultural and natural environment. My idea is that by making a space for place, we create opportunities for students to ground their creative development, enculturing their technical skills so that they have a spot from which to say something from a place deeply felt and personally meaningful.
