*AMAZING MUSICWOMEN* Curriculum Presenter Joan Cartwright, M.A. is the author of In Pursuit Of A Melody, a compilation of memoirs, photographs, poetry, lyrics and 40 original songs. She is an internationally known jazz performer, composer, recording artist and educator. Ms. Cartwright’s 45-60 minute lecture, AMAZING MUSICWOMEN IN JAZZ AND BLUES was funded by SEAS Grants, in 1998, 1999 and 2000, and demonstrated very good results with 6,000+ South Florida students at several Broward County schools and two international schools in Tokyo, Japan and Tianjin, China. Course Outline This presentation is designed for Elementary School I & II, Middle School I & II and High School I & II. By exploring the successful careers of Women In Jazz and Blues, children, especially girls, are exposed to greater possibilities of their becoming musicians, composers and performers. This workshop provides children with information about performers, composers and songwriters, from the U.S.A. and abroad. Ms. Cartwright teaches students history, music and literacy skills by focusing first on the lives of women who performed jazz music, vocally and instrumentally; then teaches students the elements of lyric and song writing; and how to execute vocalese or “scatting”. Using excerpts from books written on Women in Jazz (Appendix I) and the men they performed with, and quizzes, Cartwright exercises students’ reading and writing skills by having them read out loud, complete sentences in quizzes and write short reviews of audio and video performances. Workshop time includes lecture, PowerPoint, audio CDs, videos, reading, writing and testing. WOMEN IN JAZZ is presented in a 3-hour and 6-hour format at the elementary, middle school and high school levels. Though content is the same at all levels, the depth of emphasis and understanding of the historical challenges faced by women musicians and their accomplishments in the field may vary at each level.
