This book was required for a jazz pedagogy class that I chose to take during a mini semester and it was a great resource. It is a must have for anyone who is going to teach a jazz band or have a jazz program, whether you are a novice or expert educator.

This book is a very comprehensive resource for teaching a jazz ensemble or combo. The DVD is an extremely great tool as it is very nice to see someone teaching the techniques described within the book. I also really like to inclusion of the history of jazz lineage at the beginning of the book. Well done!

Jazz Pedagogy: The Jazz Educator's Handbook and Resource Guide
by J. Richard Dunscomb is an outstanding resource for new music teachers and experienced professionals as well. It contains detailed well thought out articles by leading jazz educators in their fields of expertise...clearly outlined and easily understood examples descriptions. A must have guide for learning or for remebering things you already knew but needed a fresh perspective.
