- Step 1:–Record your thoughts about how music has helped to shape the person you are. What is your earliest musical memory? Did someone sing to you as a child? Did you attend fun musical performances, take lessons in music, enjoy listening to the radio? What important ceremonies have you attended that built musical memories for you? For each idea you have link it to an important person or event in your life.
- Step 2: Consider the role of patriotic music in your childhood and youth. Interview some older people who have been important in your life. Which songs did they teach you? how do the songs celebrate your beliefs and culture? As you gather the names of songs and other musical experiences for your musical family tree, think about how you will organize and present the information to your class. you might create a poster, a scrapbook, or a bulletin board display, for example.
- Step 3: Which songs would you include as celebrating the person you are today? Which songs inspire your hopes and dreams for the future? For each song you identify, be able to use musical terms to describe how it has affected you. Which songs will you be sure to pass on to the next generation? Think about your values, cultural background, and beliefs. How can music help you keep those alive? Start putting together your musical family tree into the final format you will use to present it.
- Step 4: Create the final version of your musical family tree. Practice the words you will use to present it. Remember to use musical terms and to explain just how many generations your tree actually represents. When you are ready, present the project to the class.
