High School Guitar
Blues Video Project
After the class was given an introduction to the 12 bar blues progression, the students began to write lyrics to their own blues songs. After the lyrics had been developed, I introduced the Blues Video Project and presented the students with a rubric. We went to the library as a class and were introduced to the iPad greenscreen app, which the students used. The library has a green screen that we were able to bring into the music classroom for the completion of this assignment.
