Award-winning drummer, author and educator Daniel Glass has released a new educational dvd called 'From Ragtime to Rock: An Introduction to 100 Years of American Popular Music'. In addition to being a documentary, this 2-disc set is designed to be used as supplemental resource for music educators.
Daniel's new 2-disc dvd set offers a sweeping look at 100 years of music evolution, covering the end of the Civil War (1865) to the dawn of the British Invasion (1965). The goal? To show musicians and music students here in the 21st Century just how much they have in common with the past.
'Ragtime to Rock' takes you on a thrilling journey that details how American Popular Music evolved alongside important historical, economic and sociological events such as slavery, segregation, prohibition, immigration, the Great Depression, World War II, the rise of the teenager, and many more.
