The
Radio Hour is a series of portfolio based music history curricula
for grades 5-12. These curricula study Classical, Jazz, Rock,
Black Music in America(BMIA), and Classroom Guitar while integrating
technology, music analysis, improvisation, movement, creative
writing and presentation skills. Each 100+ page Student workbook
will guide students through the study of musical styles, influential
musicians, and an understanding of the relationship between
music, history and culture.
Teachers,
"It's
just music!" That's what I heard from my first eighth grade
music class. I knew that I had to create a curriculum that would
engage students with a diverse level of musical interests and
skills. I wanted to create something that would leave an impression
on every student that passed through my door. I wanted students
to walk up and tell me that they still remember how to swing
dance, or how to play happy birthday on the harmonica, or that
they go out to the mall and buy CDs of Ella and Eminem. After
developing this curriculum for ten years, I invite you to put
it to the test. The Radio Hour - It's More Than Music!

"This
curriculum has saved me a load of prep time in my busy schedule and
left me more time to teach. And that's why I'm here! Thanks."

"After
the first time I went I started plugging in your curriculum into
my learning results for the middle school level and it was amazing
that out of 22 results your program touched solidly on just about
all of them 19 to be exact. Which is wonderful for one program since
I have grade 5-8 to touch on all 22 areas."
