National Jazz Museum in Harlem

The National Jazz Museum in Harlem will work with an experienced museum education consultant to develop five new K-12 education programs. These programs will complement the museum's two existing K-12 education programs and provide sequential, differentiated instruction for thousands of students who participate in annual fieldtrips to its visitors center in Harlem. In addition to developing curricula for each program, the museum will create learning kits, pre-visit lesson plans and listening guides for teachers; online content for its website; and teaching notes and demonstration videos that will train teaching artists to lead these programs. Through these new education programs, students will develop a deeper understanding of the musical and cultural impact of jazz in Harlem and beyond.
