About This Lesson
Brimming with the joy of making music, Little Melba and Her Big Trombone is a fitting tribute to a trailblazing musician and a great unsung hero of jazz. Overcoming obstacles of race and gender, Melba Doretta Liston became a famed trombone player and arranger for the jazz greats of the twentieth century. The educator's guide from Lee & Low Books includes a book summary, background, vocabulary, discussion questions, reader-response and other writing prompts, ELL support, and interdisciplinary activities.
A very detailed and thorough lesson plan.
