Bluegrass Music in the Classroom Educators have long used music, story, and verse as a means of learning about people, places, and cultures. The inclusion of a study of Bluegrass music within the K-12 curriculum allows for cross-curricular investigations into rural life (present and past), Appalachian cultures, folklore, economic histories, family structures, spirituality, value systems, entertainment, work ethic, the introduction of technology, and many other aspects of culture in the Kentucky, Tennessee, Carolinas, Virginias, and northern Georgia. |
This WebQuest provides a framework for an
inquiry-based study of Bluegrass Music and what we can learn about people,
places, and eras as we develop an appreciation for the power and beauty of
this most American and most unique genre of music.
