For adults, secondary, primary and infants.
The story of Rock and Pop music is intriguing... From "The Blues" and "Gospel"..."Rock and Roll emerged in the 1950´s with Elvis Presley the undisputed king, but jazz and folk have also contributed to the origins of the enormous world of "Pop music" which has evolved through genres as diverse as soul, reggae or punkrock.
Nearly all of this musical story has happened in English. This concert looks at those early times with some Blues (John Lee Hooker) and Rock n Roll (Elvis Presley) a bit of Gospel before exploring the extraordinary impact of the Beatles, the folk factor (Bob Dylan) and then a tour of a few of the related genres that have emerged , including Reggae (Bob Marley), Heavy Metal (Led Zeppelin), Soul (Ben E King) Jazz pop (Sade) and some more recent rock and pop songs from this millenium that can still trace their identity to way back when. The concert also considers the contribution of women to the story both in the past and in the present.
This concert is perfect for all students of English. Even those with a lower level of English (A1-2) can follow and enjoy the songs.
Adapted versions of this concert are also possible for primary and infant level students with songs appropriate for their age designed to encourage participation The concert for infant age pupils consists of 6 songs and lasts about 25 minutes. (Please email me and I will send the pdf files)
