The CARIBLUJAZZEAN CONNECTION an exciting, educational, inspirational & “just plain fun” program for students and teachers
WHAT DO YOU GET? 3 Pre-Performance Classroom Workshop, “Meet the Stars of Music History” § Students “meet” some of the performers that they will see onstage in the Live Performance. The twist? It’s all part of a live “Talk Show” in their classroom! § Some students serve as Talk Show Hosts and work from Prompt Questions, while the rest get involved with further questions § The actor portraying the musical artist becomes a “living link to history” giving students a personal understanding of the personal struggles and triumphs of the artist. Students are encouraged to discuss how history relates to life today. 3 Live performance of “The CARIBLUJAZZEAN CONNECTION”
§
§ Historically famous African-American, Hispanic and Caribbean composers and performers, including James Bland, Robert Johnson, Chuck Berry, and Bob Marley “come alive” to perform examples of their work and talk about their lives and times, from the late 1700’s through 1970’s. § The performance presents West African rhythms, Gospel music, Minstrelsy, Blues, Latin music, Rock-n-Roll, and Reggae, in a way that shows the progression of American music history from the perspective of Congo Square, New Orleans. 3 Post-Performance “You Can Do It!” Classroom Writing Workshop § Stampley presents a short performance in the classroom that showcases several musical styles. § Students are given a set of guidelines and concepts to stimulate their creativity in writing, and are asked to begin writing immediately § Stampley randomly selects several students’ work and improvises performances of them as complete songs in a particular style on the spot. This creates a high level of interest and excitement from the students, and often encourages them to continue their development in creative writing. WHY SHOULD YOU GET IT? 3 These activities directly address Kentucky Core Content for Arts & Humanities: § AH-06-1.1.1, AH-07-1.1.1, AH-08-1.1.1 (rhythm, tempo, form, timbre) § AH-06-3.1.1, AH-07-3.1.1, AH-08-3.1.1 (recreational, ceremonial, artistic) § AH-08-1.1.2 (brass, string, percussion) § AH-08-1.1.3 (gospel, blues, jazz, popular) § AH-08-2.1.1 (African & African-American music styles) 3 This action-packed presentation addresses Kentucky’s Core Content in Music, Social Studies and Language Arts (creative writing) for grades 6-8 with customization available for younger students. Stampley brings his characters, events and musical styles to life in ways your students will never forget, and his classroom workshops add the up-close-and-personal touch that helps fix the learning experience in their minds. 3 The CARIBLUJAZZEAN CONNECTION program is designed to increase the joy of learning while enhancing students’ foundational skills: § Increase ability to compare and contrast themes and perspectives related to various historical time periods. § Enhance communication skills through listening, oral, expressive and written communication. § Analyze how culture affects an individuals and groups. § Develop an appreciation of the historical contributions that music provides to culture today § Enhance ability to become productive, proactive, and purposeful individuals.
