It is the opinion of the author of this Traditional Jazz Curriculum Kit that the lessons herein support the National Core Music Standards, as well as certain of the Common Core State Standards, as shown in the tables below.

National Core Music Standards

Shown below for each “strand” of the National Core Music Standards are the “Proficient” level standards, though the lessons in this Kit are also applicable to the standards at other levels, from “Novice” to “Advanced”.
