Features:
Structure and Style, first published in 1962 and expanded in 1979, fills the need for new ways of analysis that put 20th-century music in perspective. It spans forms in use before 1600 through forms and techniques in use today. Anthology of Musical Forms provides musical examples of forms treated in Structure and Style. Some examples are analyzed throughout. Most are left for the student to analyze. These books reflect Leon Stein's impressive background as student, musician, and composer. Stein studied composition with Leo Sowerby, Frederick Stock (conductor of the Chicago Symphony) and orchestration with Eric DeLamarter, his assistant. He earned M. Mus and Ph.D degrees at DePaul University and was associated with its School of Music as director of the Graduate Division and chairman of the Department of Theory and Composition until his retirement in 1976. He has composed a wide variety of works, including compositions for orchestra, chamber combinations, two operas, and a violin concerto.

The Ultimate Game and Activity Pack for Teaching Jazz in the Classroom.
This game and activity pack will provide you with the necessary materials to teach your students about jazz in an enjoyable and effective manner. Each component may be used by itself, or utilize the entire kit for a complete jazz instructional unit! Classroom-tested for appeal and effectiveness, Artie’s Jazz Pack can be used to introduce jazz terms with both flashcards and “Jazz Concentration” — it’s the game you know, but with a twist: students must match term to definition. The game “Jazz Style Dials” utilizes the included CD to familiarize students with Blues, Ragtime, Boogie Woogie, Dixieland, Swing, Bebop, Cool Jazz, Rock ’n’ Roll, Latin, and Jazz Rock. A second listening activity, “The Instruments of Jazz,” teaches students to recognize, both aurally and visually, the instruments heard most frequently in the various styles of jazz. There are also numerous reproducible worksheets about the history of jazz, many jazz greats, and even a “WebVisit.” The included teacher’s guide outlines the process for each activity as well as extension ideas and features a timeline, a kid-friendly jazz listening list, and suggestions for jazz-related children’s literature. Artie’s Jazz Pack also includes 30 copies of all the game boards and cards on colorful, sturdy cardstock. Grades 2-8.
