“The Blues had a baby and they named it Rock n’ Roll.” -Muddy Waters

You don’t have to be a musician to take this course. All you need is a love of music and a streak of coolness. (If you don’t have the coolness yet, you’ll have it by the time you finish!) This course will take you to some pretty cool places where you can actually listen to pieces of music to fully connect with the artists.

Finally, the course will end with the importance of 21st century rock music and how we can enlighten our students to the rich history that was the foundation for the current rock artists they love.
