Major: Origins of the Blues
In this class we will learn and discover the historical origins of the blues and explore writing themes both traditional and modern. I will then teach writing structure and vocal techniques most associated with blues music and we will explore how to resonate with the blues and create a performance that is unique to you and your one of a kind voice/style.
We will then look at blues singing and musical styles and explore the differences and commonalities. The students will be then encouraged to participate in deciding what style of blues resonates with them the most and we will then as a class in small groups begin to workshop and write original songs.
