• 12 Bar Blues Chords

The 12 Bar Blues in a Tango Style? If you’re looking for a blues activity that’s a little different – and you have some iPads you can use during class – you might like to ask students to “transform the blues” using the GarageBand app.

Developing Musicianship

and Creativity in the New National Curriculum

run in partnership with Mr Andrews Online . Details are available from here, but in essence the day will provide an opportunity for Music Specialists and classroom teacher who work with KS1-3 to tool up all all the skills and apps needed to deliver songwriting/composition sessions using iPads. We are pleased to offer delegates already attending a deal to bring a friend or colleague at half price. This also applys to new bookings- so you and a friend could each pay 75% of the fee for the day.

• This unit teaches students how to play 12-bar Blues on the iPad using the Garageband app. Students should already be familiar with the form, chord progression, and scale used in the 12-bar blues, as well as the history, cultural context, music and musicians of the Blues. In Part 1, students play and record the chords used in the 12-bar blues.
