Looking for general music instruction for home-schooled kids? How about a music class that is designed around familiarity with American folk music!
I was in elementary school in the 1980s. We had a music class three times a week. Unsurprisingly, it takes a while for music trends to get into the textbooks — so the influence of the folk music revival of the 1960s was heavily expressed in our music textbooks. I have enjoyed a lifetime of familiarity with American folk music. I would like very much to share this familiarity with the up-and-coming generation.
The class will include these songs and more:
- This Land is Your Land
- American the Beautiful
- Jambalaya
- Yankee Doodle
- Simple Gifts
- The Star Spangled Banner
- Johnny Comes Marching Home
- The various armed forces songs.
- Clementine
- Home on the Range
- The Erie Canal
- and more!
Please contact me if you are interested in this — this could be done as a class, for a small group, or individually. And, yes! I am a vendor set up with Class Wallet for ESA students.
