Description
Cuesheets are performing arts study guides published by the Education Department of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and the National Symphony Orchestra (NSO). Cuesheets are designed for teachers' use before and after attending performances for school groups and families at the Kennedy Center and at various sites across the country as part of the Imagination Celebration on Tour program. Cuesheets are wonderful resources containing introductory information and activities appropriate for all children, even without experiencing the performance. Hear music by American composers who have written jazz or have included jazz in their compositions for symphony orchestras. Although they have different traditions and different sounds, there are many ways in which jazz and orchestral music are similar, and there are special ways in which they influence one another. Listen carefully and you will discover the musical magic that happens when jazz and classical sounds meet. Less
