Country music has always had a story to tell. From the front porches of Appalachia to the neon lights of Nashville, it’s a genre rooted in real life – in heartbreak and hope, in community and resilience, in the kind of storytelling that connects across generations. And now, Music Workshop’s Country Music course has been fully revamped and is live today.

We’ve refreshed the content, added new artists, and made the whole experience more engaging, relevant, and classroom-ready than ever before. Whether you’ve used this course before or have never explored it with your students, now is the perfect time to dive in.
The updated course covers the history and evolution of country music, introducing students to both classic and contemporary artists while giving teachers the tools to bring this distinctly American genre to life in their classrooms in meaningful ways. It’s the same course you know and trust – just better, fresher, and ready to go.
And as always, it’s completely free.
If you’ve been looking for a fresh way to engage your students as the school year winds down – or want something ready and waiting when you head back in the fall – the updated Country Music course is a great place to start. Country music has a way of meeting people where they are, and that’s exactly what this course is designed to do for your students.
