We wrote twelve bar blues this week and last week during music class. The students learned about the form of a twelve bar blues. So- in case you don't know, the form is that the first line and the second line of each verse are the same, and the third line is different. The students also copied the music from the book onto music composition paper, also known as staff paper. They learned about using the treble clef for the melody and the bass clef for the chords, and then they put the first verse in between the two staffs, and the second verse underneath. Here are some examples of Blues from the fifth grade.
I've got the homework blues
I've got the homework blues
I just wanna go home and do what I wanna do.
Who is that calling in the middle of the night
Who's that calling in the middle of the night
Why do I got to wake up in the morning then I had to call you.
It was so annoying I wanted to scream
It was so annoying I wanted to scream
Back in the morning you had to to call me last night.
We always fight morning and night
We always fight, morning and night
You get mad at me more than once a day.
Why is that and I have more to say.
Why is that and I have more to say.
Like you make me late for everything for school every day.
Hope you enjoy these! More next week!
