Summer Family Music Series – Week 6

Dear Rocklin Academy Family Members!  Ready for more Summer music fun?! Well…Here we go! (Click on the song titles to enjoy the songs with your family!)

Let’s take it back to the ‘90s and hit the dance floor to dance together to Cotton Eyed Joe!  Apologies in advance that the song will be stuck in your head for the rest of the day!  Cotton Eyed Joe has inspired both a partner dance and more than one country line dances. It introduces Country Music to students, along with country instruments such as the banjo and bluegrass fiddle. And now…sit back and enjoy the ride as acapella singing group Pentatonix, takes us through the history of music starting with the 11th Century!  Music has changed so much over the decades and will continue to do the same. To match the evolution of music with the evolution of dance, you can revisit the Evolution of Dance video from week 3!  For more musical fun and learning, visit our family music docent website at bigbrainjunction.org/music!
