Abstract (type = abstract)
This thesis aims to explore the justification and development of jazz as a vehicle for elementary music education in the United States. A considerable amount of research has been done with jazz education in high school and collegiate settings, but elementary music, particularly from a historical perspective, is a less deliberated area of music education. Examining philosophies commonly used by American music educators establishes the language for the general aims of American elementary music education. Though there were initially objections to jazz in academic settings, it has been gaining acceptance in schools since the late 1940s. Analyses of student performances show evidence of student learning in the jazz idiom. Considering printed sources in conjunction with six interviews with a variety of music educators, the development of jazz education is traced from informal examples at the beginning of jazz itself to Dr. Herb Wong’s formal introduction of jazz to elementary schools in the 1960s. The movement grew through the work of Doug Goodkin and Nancy Ferguson in the 1980s and continues into the present day. Although professional organizations exist to bring these educators together, jazz in elementary schools is still a fragmented area of education that may benefit from the cohesive overview in this thesis.
