U.S. Music - 3

The "U.S. Art Residence in Dnipropetrovsk” project involved a group of students from the local school No. 141. to present a lecture “U.S. Music”.
The 11th-year students learned a lot of curious facts about the history of the American music at the Window on America (Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine). They have listened to the musical fragments that introduced typical American styles of music: jazz, country, pop, rock, disco, zydeco, gospel, etc. They also learned about the world known American opera composer – George Gershwin – and listened to some tunes from his cult opera “Porgy and Bess”. The students learned about the musical instruments that are specific for each of the above musical styles and learned new vocabulary.
The students with interest examined the books and images that illustrate the topic at a book display at the Window on America Centre.
 Number of participants – 28 (1teacher + 27 pupils).
