25. Considering American music today, what was the musical impact of the conversion of many
African slaves to Christianity?
The conversion of African slaves to Christianity resulted in the creation of numerous genres
that would otherwise not have existed. Included in this category are spirituals, black gospel,
and rhythm and blues (which evolved from black church music.) Since rock evolved to some
degree out of rhythm and blues, it too has a connection.
26. Reflecting on your own pre-collegiate music education, do you think that Lowell Mason would
have been pleased with the outcome of that education? Outline his goals, and compare this
with your own experience.
One of Mason's goals was to create a musically literate culture, which would have included
music reading skills. While some American public school music programs accomplish this
today, many American high school graduates are not music readers, and America on the
whole remains a culture of musical consumers rather than performers and producers.
Additionally, the majority of Americans prefer popular music to art music, which is not what
Mason envisioned either. Mason probably could not have imagined the invention of recording
technology that radically changed the way Americans experienced music.
