Hello guys! This time I want to write about Jazz Chants. The other day we saw in class what Jazz Chants was and it was very surprising for me because I have never heard about it and I could see that it was so easy to create a Jazz Chant.

A Jazz Chanting is a way of learning to speak and understand with special attention to the sound system of the language. Looking for some information about Jazz Chanting I found something that really surprise me and it is that this technique has survived all of the methodological twists and turns in our profession in the past thirty years. That is because of the different possibilities that offer the technique.

I enjoy a lot this class because for me it was a great resource that as teachers we can use whenever we want and it could be very useful to teach very different kind of concepts. If we take into account the Multiple Intelligences, we can associate both concepts because if we have a student that are music smart,  we can create a Jazz Chant for them just to make easier learn the concepts.

During the week I was thinking that it was a great technique and it remind me that when I was a child it help me a lot study with music, I used to mix the rhythm of a song that I like and instead of sing it with the lyric I used to sing it with the part of the topic that I had to study. So maybe if my teacher used with me that technique it would be easier for me study some kind of things.

They can create their own Chants because it is quite easy. May be if they are so little they are going to need some scaffold but in my opinion if they are able to create them, later it will be easier of them to remember. When we did our own Jazz Chant we did it in just few minutes and we could check that some of them were really good and that we also can include lot of contents.

I was looking if here in Spain Jazz Chants are common but I could not find any school that are used to work with it, so if you find any share it!
