Of course, any and all of the 170+ music resources can be accessed individually and will be useful as a stand-alone lesson. However, the resources have been designed to be interrelated and organized as a broader curriculum as well. For teachers looking to go “all-in” and dedicate a portion of each week to these music resources, here are three popular options for pacing throughout the school year…

15 Paired-Genre Units – for the teacher that doesn’t have time to browse through resource options, the arranging and planning has been done for you! Here are music packs available as bundle downloads. Each option includes 2 anchor genres with relevant artists and activities to compliment the unit. Here are suggested pairings and a suggested order for 15 Paired-Genre Units…
1) RAGTIME & BLUES
•Two of the earliest genres to develop in the U.S.; both piano-dependent…Ragtime pioneered, blues added lyrics and mood
2) GOSPEL & POP
•Gospel was popular before pop; Pop was popular by definition…very similar music, one being sacred, the other secular
3) JAZZ & SWING
•One could argue that Jazz is the father of all subsequent genres; and Swing is simply danceable, sing-able, swingable jazz music…
4) COUNTRY & BLUEGRASS
•To the untrained ear, Country and Bluegrass may sound alike. The truth is, Bluegrass may be “countrier” than Country
5) ROCK n’ ROLL & ROCK
•’50s Rock n’ Roll was more about the performance than the recorded sound; ‘60s Rock that followed was a musical golden age
6) R&B & SOUL
•Two genres that can be hard to differentiate; when you perform with rhythm or with blues, you often have plenty of soul as well
7) FOLK & REGGAE
•With simple instruments and vocals, Folk is and always has been the music of the people. Reggae is folk music from the islands
8) FUNK & DISCO
•’70s Funk added plenty of synthetic bass to soul, rock and R&B; ‘70s Disco added the ball and the dancing beats
9) HIP HOP & RAP
•Hip Hop was more than the music, it was a culture. Hip Hop culture included Rap, which took over as a genre of its own
10) METAL & ALTERNATIVE
•Of the countless subgenres of Rock, Metal and Alternative are two that became big enough to be their own bonafide genres
11) SHOW TUNES & ACAPELLA
•Both have an artistic purity and a theatrical quality; both are performance-based with reliance on vocals over instruments
12) PUNK ROCK & SKA
•Both are loud, bold, and heavily influenced by British musicians… and both are rooted in themes of revolution & anti-establishment
13) INDIE & EMO
•Both with anti-mainstream roots, and both have loyal fan-bases that connect deeply to the authentic and passion-filled music
14) CHRISTMAS MUSIC & EDM
•Both tied to mainstream pop, and both are wildly popular; able to bring together large groups of people to party and get down
15) LATIN POP & K-POP
•Both rooted in global cultures before merging with American pop and growing massively popular through multiple U.S. generations
