The concept of musician family trees

  1.This week we learn about the concept of musician family trees, which are not the same as genealogical family trees. Rather they are the educational heritage that continues from teacher to student to that student's students, etc., creating an entire lineage of musical tradition and practice. Do you think it is important for people to recognize this educational heritage for musicians? Do we look for links like this when we study popular music? Give some examples of ways in which we do or do not do that and some reasons why. (Plz write a few Words for this question1)). 2.For this free-response, please listen to the following radio interview (and/or read the transcript) and watch the included music video for Sunny Jain's Wild, Wild East and then complete the questions. https://www.npr.org/2020/03/02/811253034/sunny-jains-wild-wild-east-is-a-western-inspiredode-to-an-immigrant-father 1)Sunny Jain talks about the American cowboy story and how he adapted film composer Ennio Morricone's techniques for creating the sound tracks to films about the Wild West to talk about the immigrant experience of his parents.
