  • Instructor Manual for Joe Stuessy & Scott Lipscomb's Rock and Roll
    Instructor Manual for Joe Stuessy & Scott Lipscomb’s Rock and roll: Its history and stylistic development (edited for use with the 7th edition text) Jay Dorfman Boston University Natalie Zelensky Colby College Scott D. Lipscomb University of Minnesota Dorfman, Zelensky, & Lipscomb Instructor Manual Rock and roll: Its history and stylistic development Stuessy & Lipscomb © 2012 by Pearson Education, Inc. p. ii Dorfman, Zelensky, & Lipscomb Instructor Manual Rock and roll: Its history and stylistic development Stuessy & Lipscomb Preface The purpose of this Instructor Manual is to facilitate the process of designing and teaching a rock history course using the text Rock music: Its history and stylistic development (7th edition, Prentice-Hall). In addition, the following pages provide significant food for thought, both for beginning instructors and for those who are quite experienced in teaching such a course. The following pages provide much more than a simple synopsis of the textbook content, though that forms an important component of the material. Rather, the Instructor Manual contains many innovative ideas to stimulate students – both inside and outside the classroom – and to help them develop an intimate understanding of the genre of music that, arguably, has had the greatest musical, cultural, and sociological impact during the twentieth and twenty- first century. With the exception of the Introduction, which provides a general set of teaching tips and suggests a means of structuring the course content, each chapter of the present text is subdivided into a consistent set of sections. The chapter overview provides a detailed outline of the content of each chapter, highlighting some of the most significant points addressed and, at times, providing supplemental information that will be of interest to students and instructors.

Abstract When Nirvana found sudden commercial success with the song “Smells Like Teen Spirit” in 1991, the music industry’s attention became focused on Seattle for the first time. The city, however, had a rich musical tradition going back decades. This thesis examines the rise and fall of music communities in Seattle and the Pacific Northwest from the 1950s to the 1990s: the jazz mileu in Seattle in the 1950s, the Pacific Northwest garage rock network of the 1960s, and the alternative music community of the 1980s and early 1990s.

INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the Him is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy.
