Explore the sights and sounds from the origins of Rock & Roll music with noted music educator Dr. Joel S. Keller.
This session will first define “Rock and Roll” music and then go into some basic music theory before covering historical, cultural and other related information. Several types of music that contributed to Rock and Roll, including Blues, Jump Blues, Rockabilly, and Folk Music will then be reviewed. Pioneers and early contributors to the music will be introduced and samples of their music played. The “first” Rock and Roll records ever recorded will be played followed by some of the “Top 10” hits and “One-Hit Wonders” beginning from 1949 and ending in 1964.
