Thread Name: What schools have done to folk music
Subject: What schools have done to folk music
All through elementary school we had music books with great songs, (Hey Ho, Ash Grove, ones like those), and some not so great. All of the kids thought they were dumb besause our music teacher was our worst enemy. Now, in band, we have a song called Folk Song Folks. It is a medley of the following: This Old Man, Old MacDonald Had a Farm, Aura Lee, Sweet Betsy From Pike, Frere a Jaucha, and Some Folks Do. Nobody likes it. I think it is Mr. Seppa's favorite, he is our band director. What are your opinions?
