This unit introduces pupils to the genre of Rock ‘n’ Roll and its emergence in the 1950’s. Pupils learn about the origins of Rock ‘n’ Roll and features which are characteristic of its style including bass lines, chords and revise the twelve-bar blues as a basis upon which many Rock ‘n’ Roll songs are constructed. Pupils learn about the construction of triads and how these are formed from bass lines as a type of chord producing harmony. Pupil’s take part in an ensemble performance of “Rock Around the Clock” before composing their own Rock ‘n’ Roll songs using features they have learned about during the unit. Element Focus - Pitch, Texture, Melody & Harmony |
