Printable Music Lessons: History of Rock n Roll!: each
Composer: Tuck Kevin & Janice
If you are teaching this important subject in schools, in this resource you’ll find everything you need to get started with this subject…. even if you HATE Rock Music!
One of the most difficult parts of teaching this subject is the hours and hours of research that goes into it. You really do have to know everything about these bands, as the students will often know a lot about them, and you need to be “one step ahead.” With this module we’ve already done lots of the research for you, so you can just have a quick read, then walk into the classroom.
This module features fifteen lessons starting with looking at fifties Rock and Roll, with Bill Haley and the Comets, Chuck Berry and Elvis. We’ve balanced the course so that it doesn’t stay on these “old guys” for very long, it pretty quickly moves through and looks at all the different milestones and musical styles that make up Rock and Pop music today.
Teaching this course really gives an overview of Rock Music Styles from the 1950’s to today, so it is essential for those who are doing a Rock based curriculum, and also those who are doing a more general course.
Here is the breakdown of the fifteen lessons:
Lesson One: How Did Rock and Roll Begind?
Lesson Two: King of Rock and Roll
Lesson Three: The Day the Music Died
Lesson Four: The British Invasion
Lesson Five: Soul Music
Lesson Six: Surf Music

Lesson Eight: Punk Music
Lesson Nine: Disco Music

Lesson Twelve: Pop Music
Lesson Thirteen: Grunge
Lesson Fourteen: Dance Music
Lesson Fifteen: One Hit Wonders
