Surprisingly, I haven’t experienced too much culture in the terms of music. My great grandpa was a full Native American and my mother would occasionally bring up some cultured traditions, but nothing in terms of music. Although I believe people mow a days aren’t educated with cultured music, I know in elementary school, middle school, or high school they probably had to experiment with a different language. In that process they may had been educated through songs.
In elementary school, I learned some basic Spanish. As a child the best way to learn, in my opinion, is through songs to help memorize such things. Little songs were made up by the teacher to help learn the alphabet or items of clothing. In high school, I took French. I got more in depth with the culture of France and would occasionally hear songs in class.
Unfortunately, I wouldn’t be too much help to someone who would want to talk about cultured music.
