This speech is my recital, I think it's very vital
To rock (a rhyme), that's right (on time)
It's Tricky is the title, here we go...
“It’s Tricky: American Music & Culture” Educator Summer Institute, invites participants to the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library and Museum for a 4-day workshop to explore the history of American music, examine genre changes, analyze how music is shaped by political & social events, and how music has served as a voice for the voiceless. Join us as we learn, take a deep dive into 250+ years of American music, and inevitably jam out to some iconic songs! This educational experience is designed for K-12 educators from all disciplines and features discussions with historians & guest speakers, an opportunity to experience American history through a new lens, and valuable time to collaborate with fellow educators from across the nation.
This workshop is being held in conjunction with the exhibit “Music America: 100 Iconic Objects from America’s Music History” from the Bruce Springsteen Archives and Center for American Music, on loan to the LBJ Library.
To participate in this institute, educators must be selected through an application review process.
The application for “It’s Tricky” opens February 1, 2024 and closes April 17, 2024 at 11:00pm CST.
