The National Endowment for the Arts and Jazz at Lincoln Center have launched a new national music education initiative. More than 2000 high-school teachers will have access to web-based curriculum. The curriculum was on show at the International Association for Jazz Education's annual conference. More than 7000 music professionals and educators attended the conference. The curriculum includes five units, which is available for free to high school subjects including: social studies, US history, and music. It is aimed to help students learn about Indigenous US art form, jazz history, American history, and music in general. Dana Gioia, Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, said "We are committed to creating arts education programs of the highest quality that help our nation's teachers enliven their classrooms and that provide meaningful connections to the arts for their students. This curriculum, produced by our partner Jazz at Lincoln Center, offers a unique perspective on American history and the multi-dimensional means to explore that history."
