RATIONALEFORJAZZEDUCATIONINTHESCHOOLS

“The only way to learn jazz is by playing and listening to those who can play.”

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senateconcurring), that it is the sense of the Congress that jazz is herebydesignated as a rare and valuable national American treasure towhichweshoulddevoteourattention,supportandresourcestomakecertainitispreserved,understoodandpromulgated.”

Jazz deserves a place in our classroom, and every student should have a chance toexperience playing this wonderful genre of music. It is a “rare and valuable nationalAmericanTreasuretowhichweshoulddevoteourattention,supportandresources.”
