Teach American Music and Cultural History

Enrich your classroom with an innovative curriculum exploring the history of America's diverse cultures and musical art forms in the context of major historical events as students build a timeline of American music. 

​

Our American Music History curriculum for classrooms is an 18-lesson online series detailing the history of American roots music in conjunction with American history. Our lessons integrate lectures, video content, music, storytelling, geography, and history. Students will learn to recognize different genres of American music and understand the important cultural contributions to American culture from diverse music pioneers throughout history. Each lesson inspires critical thinking, cultural understanding, and appreciation for music. 

​

Beautifully designed on the Canvas platform, our program is complete with teacher guides, specific learning objectives, project-based learning activities, and higher-order thinking questions for discussion. Our content-rich curriculum is in line with California State Standards for social studies and visual and performing arts providing historical and cultural context and the ethnic studies model curriculum.
