After viewing the video “Anatomy of an Appalachian Tune.” Virginia Roots: A Journey into Appalachian Music, from Blue Ridge PBS, students will learn to sing several verses of the melody of an Appalachian old-time song. Students will then “piggyback” on the melody and form of an old-time song to create their own verse. Then, students will combine their verses to create a class version of the chosen old-time song.
