The Blues: Then and Now

Join Henry Piovesan in a workshop that discovers the rich heritage and lasting influence of one of the world's most important musical traditions in this engaging History of the Blues workshop. Participants will explore the origins of the blues, tracing its roots from African American communities in the Deep South to its profound impact on modern music around the world.

Through listening examples, discussion, and musical analysis, participants will examine the evolution of the genre and its many styles, including traditional blues, rock blues, jazz blues, and funk blues. The workshop will explore the distinctive characteristics of major and minor blues, common chord progression types, and the storytelling traditions that shape blues lyric structure.

Beyond its musical significance, the blues has long served as a powerful tool for emotional expression, resilience, and connection. Rooted in experiences of hardship, hope, and perseverance, blues music provides a meaningful lens through which to explore mental health and well-being. Participants will consider how music can help process emotions, reduce feelings of isolation, foster self-expression, and build a sense of community. By examining the stories and experiences embedded in blues music, the workshop highlights the important role that creativity and artistic expression can play in supporting mental wellness.

Ideal for musicians, music enthusiasts, educators, and curious listeners, this workshop offers an accessible and engaging introduction to the history, structure, and enduring legacy of the blues while celebrating the healing potential of music. No prior musical experience is required.
