Take your students on a World Music tour this school year. National Geographic’s World Music section makes it easy for teachers to add music to their Social Sciences curriculum.
Check out the World Music section on National Geographic-- it’s loaded with music from around the world for your students to listen to and music videos to watch. You can even purchase the music right from the site to use in your classes.
Search by World Region, Artist, or Genre to find music that matches what your students are learning about in class. Learn about Acadiana Music and about the history of these people who eventually ended up in the bayou country of Louisiana and became known as Cajuns.
Sign up for free Music Podcasts and meet the artists behind the music, or learn about the latest trends in music worldwide.
Grab your “M-Generation” students’ attention by adding music to your learning activities and open a conversation about music in all areas of the world; different people, different cultures- posing questions to drive your students to think deeper about similarities and differences of the global world in which we now all live. Music is an international language.
Just listen to your students listening - they will be speechless--well at least while the music is playing !
