A Little Jazz Review

At SMS, we are doing a unit on jazz because April is Jazz Appreciation Month. This quiz covers most of what we learned in class and is a quick review before the test.

I couldn't find a quiz that covered what we talked about in class and was asked to use more variety in technology, so I made this quiz so that the students can even review at home!
