Identify common elements across various music genres
About this course:
Jazz, blues, rock, pop, folk, country, hip hop, rap and many more kinds of music all evolved in the United States. Some of these genres have common roots stemming from geographic location, ethnic populations, personal history, wars and immigration (by choice and not). They progressed along different paths but as they grew up, they influenced one another and comingled, sometimes finding their common ground and giving rise to yet newer and different styles or genres. Through audio, video, commentary, demonstration and personal recollection; we explore the map of American music through a wide-angle lens, connecting the dots of its musical history and development. This course will be recorded. Students will have access to videos for the duration of the course.
