The Twelve-Bar Blues

The Twelve-Bar Blues

 

• The ideal structure for basic rhythmic, coordination, and theoretical development to emerge.

• A midi file or mp3 background not only reinforces the internalization of pulse but also provides fun in these early stages.

• Development of steady beat with real‐time rhythm experiences;

• Extends transposition skills and theoretical understanding through chord function;

• Fosters spatial awareness with parallel‐motion movement; and,

•  Promotes creativity with guided improvisation.

• Provides motives for ‘pattern reading’
