o4/02/2010 assignment on music (unit plan)


I created a unit plan on music,I could have developed a power-point presentation of this unit but decided not to do so. I found that the music culture and listening audience of the younger generation and in some cases my generation is far different that any other past musical period. Today's modern style music (rap, hip-hop)is a world without instruments but background music of previous musicians. I would try to reach today's student in understanding music history by fully understanding the beginning of new age music, its roots, and its subculture and its relevance to past musical periods.
