This is a unit of work for KS3 all about Blues Music.
It is the same as my other Blues unit but also includes video tutorials.
This unit has a practical approach and can be taught in a range of ways. I have done it just using music ICT software and midi keyboards, using live instruments when students work on their own e.g. pianos or live instruments where students work in groups on a range of instruments such as bass, piano, guitar and drums.
This teaches some history and context as well as the main techniques of Blues- walking bassline, 12 bar blue chord sequence, improvising using the blues scale. It also has a few lessons on learning The Entertainer which I have found students enjoy learning.
Included in this unit is a written scheme of work, 6 powerpoints, 8 video tutorials for walking bassline, 12 bar blues chord sequence, blues scale and the Entertainer as well as a levels demonstration video.
I have also included some resources for the Miles Davis song ‘So What’ as this has proved popular in the past as a Blues piece for students to learn.
