COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME® AND MUSEUM
This was a field trip I am sure my students will remember for the rest of their lives. [We] loved sitting in the theater, practicing audience etiquette and the fun interactive aspects of the [String City] program. From seeing the different instruments, learning and listening to the different genres of music, to learning about the history of the city and its impact on the world, [the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum is] such a fun place to visit and explore.
This was one of the best trips I have ever planned for the students. The program and the museum were absolutely wonderful for my kids to experience. [Bill of Rights: The Remix!] was a wonderful program. I have never taken 9-12 graders on a field trip where they had nothing negative to say. Many times they fuss that it was boring or stupid, but not this one. All the way home and several days after they had nothing but positive things to say about it. The fact that some of “their" music was in the mix was surprising to them. They learned so much from this experience. I am so thankful for the opportunity to bring them to the program.
This is the fourth time I have done [Words & Music]. It was the best experience and was the most impactful to a large number of students.

This exciting, multi-layered experience includes artifacts, photographs, original recordings, and archival video. Students are immersed in the history, culture, sights, and sounds of country music, its meanings, and the lives and voices of its honored personalities.

COUNTRY’S ROARING ’70 s This new feature exhibit on the museum’s second floor explores the cultural and artistic exchange between Nashville, Tennessee, and Austin, Texas, in the 1970s, revealing untold stories and never-before-seen artifacts. Forty years ago, artists like Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson launched a musical revolution by creating music and a culture that shook the status quo on Nashville’s Music Row, and cemented their place in country music history and beyond.

At the close of the journey, students enter the Country Music Hall of Fame Rotunda, the hallowed space where Hall of Fame members are honored alongside Thomas Hart Benton’s famous last painting, The Sources of Country Music. The American regionalist painter shared his vision for the painting with Country Music Hall of Fame member Tex Ritter: "No one should be recognizable. It should show the roots of the music—the sources—before there were records and stars." Benton’s mural provides a visual summary of the story shared in the galleries. It reminds students about the significant musical contributions of those honored in the Hall of Fame and the evolving nature of music and the world around them.
