The Blues - Music SOW

This resource has been designed to be used during lockdown in order to allow students to keep on developing their understanding of the Blues, musical skills, developing their aural skills whilst having fun! It is interactive all the way!

This resource is however very versatile and can be used in the classroom as it comes with bespoke backing tracks, tutorials and notes linked to Chrome Lab which is excellent for homework too.

**Please, watch the video to fully understand the content and functionality of this resource. **

The on-screen keyboard works and looped chords and improvisation work a wonder and students really enjoyed completing these performance activities.

It is worth noting that the slides do not work as intended on Safari but work amazingly well on Chrome.
Oh, and remember to always play all the notes so that they can load for the best experience!

Once perfected, students could upload their work on GoogleClassroom or any online platform by creating a ‘voice recording’ of their performances or by simply copying and pasting a link to Chrome Lab with their performance.
