Tin Pan Alley American Popular Music Project

Numerous songs like the iconic “Give my Regards to Broadway,” “God Bless America” and “Alexander’s Rag Time Band” were composed and published in Tin Pan Alley on West 28th Street between Broadway and 6th Avenue during the boom of the sheet-music business there at the turn of the 20th century. “Teaching Tin Pan Alley: Then and Now” is a multimedia presentation by educator Lesley Doyel for children in grades 2-5 that focusses on and tells the stories of two enduring Tin Pan Alley songs children began learning over a century ago, and are still learning today; Take Me out to the Ball Game and The Sidewalks of New York.
