What should I know about Etta James?

Etta James, the "Matriarch of R&B," was a force of nature who carved her name in R&B and blues and across the entire landscape of music history. Her voice could channel the power of a gospel sermon, the smoky vulnerability of a jazz ballad, and the electrifying energy of a rock and roll anthem. But Etta's impact wasn't just about her incredible voice. She was a pioneer, a trailblazer who challenged racial and gender barriers at every turn. She spoke her truth through her music, tackling themes of love, loss, and resilience with unflinching honesty, giving voice to the struggles and joys of a generation.

What are Music Breaks?

Forget tedious prep – all you need is this musical treasure trove featuring SIX dynamic activities inspired by a captivating piece of classical music. No grading, no pressure, just pure exploration!

• Listen & Color a Carnival - Students can color a carnival while listening to the selected music! Which carnival rides and activities would best fit a piece of music?
