The Magic of Music for Little Language Learners

Before guitars, before rock & roll, before country music—there was the banjo.

Its roots stretch back over 400 years to West Africa. Its rhythms shaped American folk, bluegrass, and jazz. And one of the world’s greatest banjo players—15-time Grammy winner Béla Fleck—knows just how magical it is.
