Blues For Beginners





The Program
Kids get the Blues too/Blues for Beginners is a program created by Blues musician Brother Yusef for the purpose of introducing young children to the early African American tradition of the Blues. Through dancing, singing, and audience participation, children and adults will discover the many expressions of the Blues. Brother Yusef will touch on the early history of instrument making, vocal styles such as call and response and musical styles such as spirituals, work songs and songs just for fun. He will also talk about the influence Blues has in contemporary music. The program concludes with everyone grabbing an instrument and participating in a grand jam session.Kids get the Blues too/Blues for Beginners is a program created by Blues musician Brother Yusef for the purpose of introducing young children to the early African American tradition of the Blues.
