Discover America's musical heritage on this fascinating journey that explores the music of the

Native Americans to the diversity of today's popular music. Walk through time as you listen to

the stories behind the indigenous peoples of North America, the world of the colonists, the

influence of the music the African slaves brought to a new land, folk songs of the British Isles,

the cultural import of European classical music in this emerging culture, the rise of popular

music and Tin Pan Alley, Latin roots that run deep in the national heritage, and the classic

American genres of jazz and rock and roll. Musical selections include the works of Amy Beach,

Aaron Copland, and Ruth Crawford Seeger, in addition to Irish fiddle tunes, ragtime favorites,

Stephen Foster melodies, spirituals, and Latin pop classics.

Instructors: Rachel Cox and Judy Kaff
