History of Rock and Roll - (Ongoing Class at Calabasas Civic Center through June 6, 2013)
Maestro James Domine traces the development of Rock ‘n’ Roll, a uniquely American style of pop music, as it evolved in the 1950's from rhythm and blues, characterized by the use of electric guitars, a strong rhythm with an accent on the off beat, and youth-oriented lyrics. Rock 'n Roll is an ethno-musicological style that can be defined by the formal structure of its song-forms, characteristic dance rhythms, melodic and harmonic modes, singing style, instrumentation and improvisational techniques; and is generally expressive of adolescent anti-social and sexual behavior. The sociological and psychological developmental significance of rock music in youth subculture will be discussed as it is relevant to the function of music as part of ancient anthropological mating and courtship rituals.
