Mini Docs: Musical Introductions to History

Mini Docs are the cornerstone of our Musical Introductions to History resources. These short videos, under 10 minutes, introduce a historical topic through a relevant song from the period. Each video opens with a brief documentary on the topic, followed by the song. For educators, they include Teaching Guides and ready-to-present Slides for the classroom, distance learning, and homeschooling.
