        <ExplanationTxt>OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: OTHER PROGRAMS - The Institute offers educational and cultural programs, including special performances and tours that reach people worldwide. Our Peer-to-Peer Jazz Education Tours enable talented students who study with Institute teaching artists at the nations leading public performing arts schools to participate in weeklong tours with renowned jazz musicians. The Blues and Jazz Two American Classics teaches Mississippi public school students to play the blues and jazz, and examine the connections between both musical art forms. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: CURRICULUM - To provide an ongoing education about jazz for our nations students, the Thelonious Monk Institute has developed Jazz in America: The National Jazz Curriculum (www.jazzinamerica.org), an internet-based jazz curriculum for 5th, 8th, and 11th grade public school students across the United States. The curriculum for each grade level presents a historical overview, examines characteristics of various jazz styles, highlights contributions of important performers and composers, and, most importantly, explores the social, economic, and political contexts within which jazz evolved. In addition to the lesson plans, the curriculum web site includes a teachers manual, assessments, and a comprehensive Jazz Resource Library. All of the materials can be accessed, downloaded, and printed free of charge. The curriculum is commensurate with national, state, and district student learning standards in American History and Arts Education. Additionally, the Institute has developed and launched the first phase of Math, Science &amp; Music. This free, internet-based curriculum at www.mathsciencemusic.org uses music as a tool to teach math and science to K-12 and college students. Math, Science &amp; Music addresses the growing need for students to gain skills and acquire knowledge in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) subjects and learn to think creatively. The Institute is collaborating with math, science, music and education experts at Harvard, MIT, Johns Hopkins, New York University, the University of California Berkeley and other leading universities to develop a wealth of free, engaging curricula, games, apps and other interactive online components.</ExplanationTxt>
