Learning Goal: Discover various kinds of traditional African-American music styles. Be able to explain how these styles have reflected the black experiences since the time of slavery.

New Orleans’ geographical location and French influence create a unique environment in the
American South. Weekly gatherings at Congo Square allowed slaves and their descendants a chance
to celebrate their African roots and paved the way for a sound that would become known as jazz.
The New Orleans jazz musicians absorbed the brass band and ragtime traditions and added a loose,
more spontaneous approach in the form of improvisation.

This unit allows you to share the rich heritage of American brass band music with your students. More than 150 years after the end of the Civil War, average Americans continue to actively participate in marching and community bands, even though the music itself is no longer in fashion. Such participation offers us the opportunity to learn an instrument and to proudly participate in the civil life of our communities.

At its essence, ragtime is a combination of Sousa-style marching music played with a syncopated sense of swing that is African-American in origin. Ragtime evolved in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, primarily in urban settings like bars, dance halls, and “houses of ill repute,” as these were the only kinds of places in which African-American musicians were generally allowed to perform. When played on piano, ragtime is characterized by a steady march-like pulse in the left hand and a “ragged” (or syncopated) feel in the right hand. A ragged feel is created by grouping the notes in such a way as to allow the stress to bounce back and forth between the dominant beats (1, 2, 3, 4) and weak beats (the “ands”). The “back and forth” of the ragged feel made it very danceable. Ragtime’s eventual rise to mainstream popularity was an early example of how the blend of European-American and African-American cultures would be defining characteristic of American popular music.

Summary: Hello Student! One of the primary goals of From Ragtime to Rock is to introduce you to the subject of American Popular Music in a fun, user-friendly way. This introductory unit is designed to help you “connect the dots” between the sounds of the past and the music you enjoy today. The two have a lot more in common than you think. Enjoy!

Learning Goal: Define the term “American Popular Music.” Identify some common threads between the sounds of the past and today’s rock and pop.
