Item No: 7908

$15.95

From spirituals to hip-hop by Blair Bielawski.

The history of a people is found in its songs—so introduce your students to the rich history of African-American music through authentic stylings of spirituals, blues, gospel, dixie, swing, rock 'n roll, and hip-hop on the CD and short bios and informative notes in the reproducible book or through the PowerPoint presentation on the enhanced CD. These are short and to the point—great for Black History month, or a genre study for Gr. 4-6.
