In America's Musical Heritage, learn how to hear the music of America with new ears. Produced in collaboration with Smithsonian Folkways Recordings-the Grammy Award-winning record label of the Smithsonian Institution featuring a vast treasury of American vernacular music-these 12 lectures explore more than 200 years of music that will reveal a different side of the American experience.

Professor Seeger traces the origins of the American music industry; the impact of instruments like the piano and the banjo; and the myriad ways music has shaped American wars, dances, elections, and public demonstrations. You'll also hear informative interviews and eclectic performances from scholar-musicians, and sample original recordings that reflect the incredible richness of the American musical experience. Through the music and stories of trailblazers like Scott Joplin, the Memphis Jug Band, Woody Guthrie, and many others, you'll hear an unforgettable story of American cultural innovation.
