MUSC 3120Introduction to Appalachian Music4

This course is designed to broaden students’ understanding of musical traditions of the southern Appalachian region. The course will examine the chronological history of music as an oral tradition in Appalachia, its origins, and its progression through modern times. The course will not be strictly limited to a specific type of music or oral tradition in the Appalachian region and will incorporate sociological, economical, and religious examinations of traditional music as well. The history and progression of traditional music from a communal, family entertainment to a consumer-fueled commodity for a mass-produced record industry will be discussed. The role of radio, its influence on traditional musicians, and its impact on southern culture will be addressed. Finally, the influence of ‘agents of change’ (railroads, rural postal service, and radio) and how these agents affected traditional musicians and their music will be discussed .......................................................................
