The Bible and Music

This class was focused around the Exodus. We discussed how music can help relay historical events. Schoolhouse Rock was bought up because so many of us have learned historical events through those songs. We also looked at some slave pieces, such as “Wade in the Water”. These songs were meant to relay messages of escape or messages to freedom. Music, has been relied on to transmit history from generation to generation.

This idea made me think there is some room for error. Sometimes, from year to year, some of the original messages can be altered or changed. This could be part of the reason why there are so many different versions of history and differences in what some believe happened. I find it interesting, though, that we can learn through song. Because I want to me an elementary school teacher, I will keep this idea in mind. Maybe I can try and implement song into my classroom to help children learn.
