In this course about Bluegrass Music we will explore the influences and origin of the music, instruments typically used, and themes prominent in the real-life, downhome lyrics. We will look at the first and second generations of musicians and performers. We will discuss how Morehead State University’s Kentucky Center for Traditional Music came into being, and the impact it and other colleges with programs dedicated to Bluegrass/Traditional Music have made on the students who wish to learn and perform the music professionally. We will talk about the many venues to go hear and enjoy the music we call Bluegrass.
