My class involves music theory and production techniques.
I am 41 years old, yet my students are around 20-25 years old.
Part of the course involves listening to music examples to ear train.
I am pretty "out-of-touch" with much of today's music, and am heavily biased towards classical/jazz, and pop from the '70s through the mid '90s. I believe much of the current music scene is garbage, and offers little in content valuable to my class.
How do I capture the imagination and interest of my students using music they may not know and appreciate?
