Announcing the Florida Music Train
The Florida Folklife Program announces the availability of "The
Florida Music Train" by folklorist/ethnomusicologist Laurie K.
Sommers. This educational module includes an audio CD of
archival, field, and studio recordings of Florida's traditional
music; five lesson plans; a full color poster; and background
information about the artists and musical traditions represented
in the unit. The audio CD includes an extensive range of 23
selections that allows teachers to create countless more
lessons. The musical selections feature traditional
music from such legendary Florida musicians as bluegrass
fiddler Chubby Wise, Cuban singer Willie Chirino, klezmer
greats The Epstein Brothers, Seminole musician James Billie
and more. Musical genres include blues, sacred harp, old-time,
bluegrass, a cappella gospel, as well as music from Florida's
Greek, Seminole, Bahamian, Mexican, and Haitian communities.
Designed for use in elementary and secondary classrooms, the
resource integrates music education with curricula in language
arts and social studies.
