Torquay Academy Year 9 Music Students learn Elvis Presley's 'Hound Dog' in just 40 minutes!

In Year 9 Music, the students are currently learning all about Blues music. They’ve learnt about the history of Blues, including how it derived from slave songs in the 19th Century, all the way up until it became the Rhythm and Blues (R 'n' B) music that would shape the path for Rock and Roll in the 1950s. The students have been studying this Rock and Roll era of Blues music, and in particular the "12-Bar Blues" structure, by learning to play old classics by famous Rock and Roll artists such as Elvis Presley. In this video, 9T2 have had only forty minutes to learn a new piece of Blues music and have even taken it upon themselves to further their experience of performing Blues music by choreographing their own 1950s dance routine to the old classic, "Hound Dog" by Elvis Presley. In the Creative Arts department we are very big on learning in a practical way. Whether you are learning about the Blues in Year 9 or Medieval music in Year 7, it is our belief that the most successful learning takes place whilst "doing" rather than watching or listening. In this video you will see that 9T2 have chosen which instrument they want to play, and as a result of this flexibility of choice, mixed with our hands-on approach, each student is actively engaged in the task and are making progress without even realising it.
