Blues 101: A Brief History & Songwriting

Step back in time and explore this rich genre of music by discussing the origins, elements, and some important artists of blues music before engaging your students in some simple songwriting!


Included are four artist biographies with an accompanying YouTube video, information about the origins and elements of blues music, and songwriting templates to help your students create their own blues masterpieces. There is a resources slide at the end with links to all the outside sources and YouTube videos. As always, this presentation is only intended to give a very brief introduction to the genre and you can modify the material as much as needed to best suit your needs!


This presentation is 100% FREE to download! If you find this to be a successful presentation with your students and would like to give back, however, donations via Venmo (Danielle-Keaton) or Cashapp (dkeaton94) are very much appreciated! Finally, if you would like to share with others, please direct them to my website, Facebook, or Instagram instead of sharing your copy of the presentation directly. Thanks so much for checking it out!
