A presentation of five units of American music for the junior high school general music class

Abstract

In this thesis it is my purpose to present five units or study which would be or interest to a junior high school general music class. It is primarily intended as a teacher's guide in presenting several areas or subject matter with a list of source materials in each field. The presentation here is not intended to be a complete course of study. Each unit will take its place among the various activities of the general music class according to its particular emphasis; for example, folk songs might employ both the singing and listening activities while the music or contemporary America would probably be classified under the area usually termed "music appreciation."
