Abstract
This chapter explores connections between music and social studies. It includes rationales for integrating music and social studies, common links between the two disciplines, and a discussion of National Curriculum Standards for Social Studies, the C3 Framework for Social Studies State Standards, and the National Core Arts Standards for Music. Tables clearly show the standards that are incorporated throughout the lessons and examples. The chapter contains four detailed, full-length lessons that integrate music and social studies. These include a lesson that examines the importance of a classroom community; a two-part exploration of historical and musical aspects of the blues; and an introduction to the Holocaust through Górecki’s Symphony No. 3. The chapter ends with an inventory of ideas detailing nineteen additional lesson topics, specific teaching strategies, and recommended activities.
