A new way for middle & high school students to explore our shared history as a nation through musical primary sources from the Library of Congress.

Music of US will offer:

A series of interactive Episodes where students explore important music and musicians that have contributed to our history, civics and culture.

STUDENTS LISTEN AND TAP TO EXPLORE A RECORDING: WHY IT WAS CREATED; THE MUSICIANS, THE SOCIAL CONTEXT, AND WHAT THEY TELL US ABOUT OUR CIVIC LIFE AS A DIVERSE NATION.

With the Music of US Episode Builder App & Curriculum, students work with the Music of US Builder App to create an online Episode featuring a music track that they select or create, exploring connections from the music to issues and history they choose.

They can share their episodes easily from the cloud.

All Music of US resources are FREE to teachers and students, with support from the Library of Congress.
