SSBA is proud to affiliate with this long established and highly regarded program, the mission of which is to design and deliver an interdisciplinary musical experience for students who – through playing, singing and writing blues – will also learn the history and heritage of this original African/American art form.
Blues in the Schools offers the opportunity for students of all ages to engage in multidisciplinary, whole-language learning using the study of music, math, language arts, history, anthropology, and sociology in a hands-on approach celebrating creative self-expression. By bringing the blues genre into the classroom, students are exposed to these traditional subjects, while breaking down racial barriers and opening dialogue about cultural diversity.
