An art form is defined as a creative act that springs from the artist's experience as it reflects or reacts against societyIt then states that acculturation, a process by which a certain people are influenced by a foreign culture, changed the Afro- Americans from their original culture to one that was a mixture of U.S. influences and African roots which played a large part in the way rock and roll sounds today Brown proves rock is a legitimate art form by talking about its audience and its lasting power. Assumption two states that rocks roots are in folk, jazz, and pop musicMusicians who first started rock and roll must have had something to base their music on which turned out to be primarily folk, jazz, and pop They simple changed the pattern and style of that music and started forming rock. Assumption three states that it is just as valid to study rock and roll as European classical music Rock will prove to be a valid means of producing competent musicians and that it demands the same type of performance as in any musical form
