These classes will involve an understanding and engaging on polarizing social issues of the past 60 years. However, the purpose of the class is to help learners understand the history and to analyze how music and politics influence each other, not to espouse any political opinion. No political opinions will be given by the teacher nor encouraged in the class. Further, the artists and music are carefully curated to ensure that inappropriate language and themes, to include violence or mature adult themes, are kept out of the class curriculum. If a parent has a concern, please do not hesitate to contact me.
