Keeping Kids “Jazzed” On Education

5

Rochester NY community station, Jazz90.1 (WGMC-FM) has created a website for kids to learn about Jazz. The free site was created to give parents and kids another education resource during Covid times.

Jazz90.1 Kidz Zone provides weekly modules, that can include readings from children’s books on jazz, music examples, coloring pages, and podcasts. Topics can range from general history of jazz, to how the music is constructed, and whole lessons devoted to jazz greats.

The website is the brainchild of Station Manager Rob Linton. He has embraced digital content since joining the station in 2004.

“As the pandemic continued, and most schools were going to a hybrid model, we decided to provide content to kids that maybe can support what they have in their classrooms,” Linton recently told RochesterFirst.Com. “It’s a way to keep music in their minds…we want to keep the kids engaged.”

  1. What a compelling post! The writer’s passion for the subject matter is contagious, and I found myself fully immersed in the content. The personal anecdotes shared were particularly powerful, and the overall message of the post is an important one. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us.

  2. Thanks for your  education resource during Covid times, it will be really nice, as now students suffer much from remote study and all these writing homework. For that, I use the help of services which I found on Best Writers Online.
