Write and Discuss:
Why do you listen to music? How does music make you feel? Does music
serve a different role in your life depending on your mood, who you are
with or what you are doing? Does music ever cause you to think
differently, to feel a part of something larger or to want to rise up
and take action?
Then, respond to this
quotation by Pete Seeger, a champion of folk music, who
died in 2014:
One of the
purposes of music is to help you forget your troubles; another, help
you learn from your troubles (some do), and, some will help you do
something about your troubles.
Do you agree? Why?
Listen and Annotate:
Next, listen to
We Shall Overcome a protest song from the 20th century, while reading along with the printed lyrics. As you
listen,
annotate by underlining, highlighting or writing in the margins — reacting or
responding to anything in the lyrics or in the music itself.
Discuss:
- What did you notice in the song as you listened? How did it make you feel?
- What did you hear that makes you say that?
- What more can you find?
