From Blakey to Brown, Como to Costa, Eckstine to Eldridge, Galbraith to Garner, Harris to Hines, Horne to Hyman, Jamal to Jefferson, Kelly to Klook; Mancini to Marmarosa, May to Mitchell, Negri to Nestico, Parlan to Ponder, Reed to Ruther, Strayhorn to Sullivan, Turk to Turrentine, Wade to Williams… the forthcoming publication Treasury of Pittsburgh Jazz Connections by Dr. Nelson Harrison and Dr. Ralph Proctor, Jr. will document the legacy of one of the world’s greatest jazz capitals.
Do you want to know who Dizzy Gillespie idolized? Did you ever wonder who inspired Kenny Clarke and Art Blakey? Who was the pianist that mentored Monk, Bud Powell, Tad Dameron, Elmo Hope, Sarah Vaughan and Mel Torme? Who was Art Tatum’s idol and Nat Cole’s mentor? What musical quartet pioneered the concept adopted later by the Modern Jazz Quartet? Were you ever curious to know who taught saxophone to Stanley Turrentine or who taught piano to Ahmad Jamal? What community music school trained Robert McFerrin, Sr. for his history-making debut with the Metropolitan Opera? What virtually unknown pianist was a significant influence on young John Coltrane, Shirley Scott, McCoy Tyner, Bobby Timmons and Ray Bryant when he moved to Philadelphia from Pittsburgh in the 1940s? Would you be surprised to know that Erroll Garner attended classes at the Julliard School of Music in New York and was at the top of his class in writing and arranging proficiency?
Some answers can be gleaned from the postings on the Pittsburgh Jazz Network.
For almost 100 years the Pittsburgh region has been a metacenter of jazz originality that is second to no other in the history of jazz. One of the best kept secrets in jazz folklore, the Pittsburgh Jazz Legacy has heretofore remained mythical. We have dubbed it “the greatest story never told” since it has not been represented in writing before now in such a way as to be accessible to anyone seeking to know more about it. When it was happening, little did we know how priceless the memories would become when the times were gone.
Today jazz is still king in Pittsburgh, with events, performances and activities happening all the time. The Pittsburgh Jazz Network is dedicated to celebrating and showcasing the places, artists and fans that carry on the legacy of Pittsburgh's jazz heritage.
WELCOME!

Differentiated instruction is an essential strategy to have as a teacher. It allows us as educators to really meet the needs of the children. In order for us to do so we must use our assessments to guide our instruction. We have to adapt our lessons in a way to make it more understandable to the students. Effective differentiated instruction strategies for groups. Group students by learning goals, not learning gaffs. Students with a common goal are more likely to achieve it than a group of students who reluctantly sit together because of perceived inferiority. Keep the groups flexible. Having students work in different groups preserves novelty Here are five examples of differential instruction strategies: 1. Think-Pair-Share. As implied by the name, the Think-Pair-Share strategy is a portion of lesson delivery often used to start a lesson or introduce a new concept that begins by posing a question to students. They are then asked to think about and record their responses. Examples Of Differentiated Learning. Let's explore the differentiated pedagogical strategies to apply in a variety of subjects: 1. Differentiated learning strategies for math. Differentiated instruction for math is really effective as it helps to b hold students' confidence, stamina, and skills. Some strategies include: Description. Differentiated instruction is a teaching method that requires instructors to change their teaching styles and educational materials to meet the diverse needs of learners within a classroom. It generally involves grouping learners into several sub-groups in the classroom based on ability, skill set, or learning preferences. You can also teach about the soil—the texture, smell, and color, and even the composition. To differentiate the tasks you offer the learners, it's important to interact with them while they walk around and observe the plants. Ask the learners interested in the topic to touch the plant and name the different parts they can see. Examples of differentiating process or activities at the elementary level include the following: Using tiered activities through which all learners work with the same important understandings and skills, hellow.. differentiated instruction is not practiced in our school. History of differentiated instruction The roots of differentiated instruction go all the way back to the days of the one-room schoolhouse, where one teacher had students of all ages in one classroom. As the educational system transitioned to grading schools, it was assumed that children of the same age learned similarly. Learn which differentiated instruction strategies are the most effective, and explore our library of examples to help you gain the confidence to use in your classroom. Differentiated Instruction - An Inclusive Method of Teaching Watch kids playing in a sandpit to see how they learn. You will notice some creating their dream castles, others watching their friends before emulating them, and some working beautifully in a group - discussing and sharing. Advantages of differentiated instruction include: 1. Student-Centered. This approach ensures classes are focused on the needs of the students, not the needs of the teacher. In past approaches such as the banking model, students were asked to be passive learners. They simply observed the teacher's instruction. Here are sixteen effective strategies for implementing differentiated instruction practices in the
