"All Aboard the Musical Train" is a journey through the music of 6 decades, the 1920's to the 1970's. Several arists from each decade are highlighted, as well as an introduction to the current events of that time period and the influence these events had on the music. The students on our team were interested in how music has changed through time and also in learning about the different styles of music. It was important to them to find a meaningful way to share this information with others, thus the development of our website.
Music is basic to the quality of human existence. As a common element of all cultures, music is a universal system of communication.
Our objectives are:
1. To provide students with opportunities to appreciate and become knowledgeable receivers of music from different periods and styles.
2. Develop an awareness of the value of music as it is related to other disciplines and to the quality of life experiences.
3. Students will be sensitive to the place of music in society and the need of all individuals for aesthetic reaction and expression.
In a world endlessly shaped and reshaped by the evolution and revolution of peoples and ideologies, the one goal which remains internally steadfast is the acquisition and application of knowledge. We affirm our responsibility to do everything in our power to enable each student to reach their goal.

In this webpages, we aim to enable music 'illiterates' to learn more about the world of music, and that includes things like it's history, composers of the past and the different characteristics of each period that contributes to it being special in its own way. 'Literate' musicians will also be able to go into the details and roots of music, allowing them to be more informed and knowledgeble.
Our History Chamber will house the insight to the different periods of music history, such as the Medieval, Classical and Romantic music. Surfers will be able to get information about the composer's life and their music. We will list the greatest composers that had ever lived in his or her era and basically introduce their style of composing and things that happened in their life. Along with all the information also comes the different melodies...... Whilst you are reading each composer's information, the background will be playing a piece of their better known compositions. There will also be many pictures accompanied by captions for explanation.
All in all, our web page will be a journey through the history of music, making learning enjoyable and fruitful! A true "Ode to Music"!
