Resources for students, educators, and inquiring minds
PDX Jazz desires to be a comprehensive resource in the realm of jazz education. In addition to our free in-school programs, we have a growing cache of free and downloadable online content. From lesson plans and presentations to musician highlights, jazz playlists, and read-aloud videos, we are dedicated to providing the most approachable and age-appropriate education resources for introducing students to jazz.
