Before the remix! Groove to the sounds of jazz, gospel, and rhythm and blues. We take your child through the progressive history of music influenced by African Americans, going from spiritual heritage songs, to Ma Rainey’s "Bo-Weavil Blues", to "Shoo-ba-doo-wa!", to pianist Duke Ellington, to the birth of Motown. Now let’s begin! This educational software allows a child to self-personalize and become the star character (in addition to family members and friends) of their own computer story. The child can choose characters of their ethnicity, select their reading level, and have the computer read the story to them. The educational content is reinforced through supporting animation, interactive review quizzes, word puzzles, memory games, and a computer coloring book.
