E8 S 24 Rhythm and Blues Ensemble

E8 S 24 Rhythm and Blues Ensemble
Wednesday 1-3 pm
Teacher: Patricia Wheeler

This group will explore the music that has become known as “R&B”, rooted in the gospel music tradition and stretching itself into rock and roll.
Repertoire will include You Can’t Hurry Love – The Supremes, Stand By Me – Ben E. King, Midnight Hour – Wilson Picket, I Heard it Through the Grapevine – Gladys Knight
Vocalists are welcome, and instrumentation will include drums, bass, guitar, keyboard, woodwind and brass instruments.
A portion of the material will be learned by ear, as this type of music is rarely fully notated.
