BLUES 101
Is a one-hour lecture/performance that covers the origins of blues music from its early beginnings, e.g. field hollers, work songs, etc. to its current popularity. Through song, lecture and discussion, students learn the history of the Blues while hearing instrumental examples played on guitar or other instruments. Basic definitions of Blues music such as, “What is the Blues?” are reinforced throughout this course. This course is geared toward, middle school and high school students or individuals being exposed to blues for the first time. The biographies of major players in the development of Blues music, e.g. W.C. Handy, Huddie “Leadbelly” Ledbetter and B.B. King, are introduced. This program can be conducted in classroom/auditorium environment. This workshop includes an interactive singing workshop and a Q and A period. This is Fruteland Jackson’s most popular and recommended workshop for the uninitiated and is designed to reach a mass audience.
