Abstract
It seems each generation of young people finds new ways to express life's complex emotions and experiences through music. As a favored outlet for self-expression, music also provides future generations with a fascinating historical record. Sound recordings and sheet music of once popular songs offer unique opportunities for students to analyze evidence of historic events, cultural shifts and societal trends from a particular time under study. These primary source formats can prove particularly useful for teachers when addressing complex topics.
