Our presentations are designed to increase and enhance the awareness of the general public with regard to the rich, historical significance of our American musical tradition. As such -- via lecture, live music, and audio and video excerpts -- we recount the life stories and career highlights of those who composed the music, wrote the words, or performed the classic, popular melodies and lyrics.

After completing the course, the student will: 1. Comprehend the scope of Judy Garland’s career, covering four decades of stardom and now-seemingly timeless achievement; 2. Understand the forces beyond her control that gave her so many challenges and difficulties -- most of them misunderstood by (or incomprehensible to) the public during her lifetime; 3. Appreciate her God-given passion for performing and the manner in which the love she shared with an audience was both self-perpetuating and a rare, cyclical exchange of communication.
