Heavy focus on music history with lesser engagement for students.
Community Review for Smithsonian Folkways
My Take
Love the articles and the music sample from older and current artists. Love the insight into music history and students can learn the impact that music had on the world during recent history. Very insightful on the evolution of music, however, there is very little engagement for students that actually want to make samples of music themselves and learn about the beats, instruments, etc.
How I Use It
For me, this article would be used for students to learn about music history and previous artists and their impact on music and their respective communities. This website is less about students learning about the music itself, and making beats, but for them to learn about the evolution of music and the impact that its artists had on the world, and how music brought people together.
