Abstract
This thesis compromises a brief overview of Jamaican folk music and a unit of
study for fourth or fifth grade general music that gives students the opportunity to explore the unique musical and cultural traditions of Jamaica. Students will be exposed to different traditional rhythms and folk songs whilst improving their basic musicianship skills. Students will have a chance to explore this culture, which may seem foreign or unfamiliar to them.
