Description

Class Experience

The deaths of these three performers was a social touchstone of the 1950s, and their music lives on still. In this class we will learn about the lives of muscians Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper. We will cover their childhoods, and the music they made. We will use discussion, and powerpoint to learn more about them. My class is structered with instructive powerpoint, and discussion. My teaching style is friendly and upbeat. Learners will interact with each other during...

An optional hand-out will be provided.

50 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
