In honour of Black History Month, we spent the full month of February studying the far reaching impacts of the Blues on our music of today. With influences spanning through Jazz, Rock, Country, Hip Hop, Rap, Pop and more, much of what we listen to owes something to the Blues. We used this as a vehicle to explore expression, improvisation, phrasing, chords, scales and tools to combine while creating music. Students wrote their own blues melodies to play for the class, some of which are sampled below.
