Music is important to us at Halton School and each month we choose a different genre of music to listen to. Miss Humphrys teaches us about the history of the genre as well as some interesting facts to remember whilst we are listening.
Music of the month for July: Rock and roll
Rock and roll is a genre of popular music that originated and evolved in the United States during the late 1940s and early 1950s from musical styles such as gospel, jump blues, jazz, boogie woogie, rhythm and blues, and country music.
Popular artists of the time include: Fats Domino, Buddy Holly, Little Richard and Elvis Presley (all pictured above). Other artists include Chuck Berry, Ritchie Valens, The Everly Brothers, Bill Haley & The Comets and many, many more!
Have a look and a listen to the examples below. I bet you can't listen to them without wanting to get up and move around!
