Course Contents/Objectives/Teaching Method/Intended Learning Outcome

This class is designed to introduce students to the history of jazz. It is also aimed to increase their understanding of and appreciation for jazz music. Jazz music has stylistically changed over the last 100 years. We will learn the history of jazz from the beginning of jazz to the multiple styles in the present. This is beneficial not only for students who are interested in jazz music but also students who are learning how to play jazz. By participating fully in this class, students will:

- develop their listening skills for enjoying and understanding jazz music.

- become familiar with many of the major figures in jazz.

- engage with other students in classroom discussions.

- deliver in-class presentations.

- improve their English skills.
