Episode 2 Rock Music with an Attitude 1OVERVIEW Rock Music Has Been One of the Driving Forc- Es of Youth Culture Since the 1950’S Unit 4 Music Styles Episode 2 Rock Music with an attitude 1OVERVIEW Rock music has been one of the driving forc- es of youth culture since the 1950’s. Expres- sive and emotional, rock is music with an exclamation point! To express their outrage that a local park is going to be turned into a mega-store, the band takes up Quaver’s chal- lenge to express themselves through rock music. While they work on their song in the studio, Quaver and Repairman dive into the genre by looking at its history, instrumenta- tion, sound, form, lyrics, and feel. LESSON OBJECTIVES Students will learn: • Rock songs have a number of basic elements: a rock drum rhythm, three simple chords, a repeated lyric about something you care about, verses (A), and a chorus (B). • Rock uses microphones and amplified instruments so music is louder and reaches a bigger audience. • Rock bands commonly employ: a lead singer, drummer, electric guitarist or two, and an electric bass player. • Rock music has a strong, heavily accented, driving meter of 4. • Rock music has developed into many separate rock styles including punk, grunge, heavy metal, pop rock, pop, folk rock, and country rock.

Write their answers so everyone can see them. Compile a list of their favorite bands based on music they own. The students may tend to think of current bands, so begin building the history of the genre by asking them to name ten bands that have been famous for more than ten years such as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Nirvana, Green Day, and U2. Next divide students into groups and ask them to come up with a cool name for a rock band. Have them announce their names to the class and describe what the band’s music would sound like. If they can’t think of any names, try these “make-a-rock-band” equations. The name of their street + last name = Michigan Jones A loud noise + the name of a metal = Crash Iron Something in a desert + an extreme weather condition = Cactus Hurricane Crank up the volume as you dig into the history, song-writing, and sounds of rock music. 2-2 • QuaverMusic.com * concepts included in the Teacher Guide, but not in the DVD Rock 3 PLAY EPISODE Discussion Points • How many chords are needed to play rock music? three • What do rock musicians use to make their guitars louder? amplifiers • What are the three most important instruments of a rock band? guitar, bass, and drums • Name a style of rock music mentioned in the episode? punk, grunge, heavy metal, pop rock, pop, rock’n’roll, and rockabilly 4 CLASS ACTIVITIES Different Rocks Tracks 1, 2, 3 & 4 Materials Purpose: Introducing students to different kinds of rock music Needed Rock music is a very broad term encompassing a wide variety of sounds. Listen to these four tracks of rock music: - Microphone or substitute mic Track 1 Change the World - rock anthem - Orff instruments or Track 2 Never Let the Sun Go Down - pop rock keyboard Track 3 Dig Your Scene - punk rock Track 4 Happy Together - country rock Ask students to closely observe the differences and similarities of each piece. Have them brainstorm five words to describe each track. Write down their answers so all can see. Poll students to determine which track is their favorite, and have them discuss why they named the song as they did. My Rock Moves Track 5 Purpose: How performance is an integral part of rock A dynamic performance is part of the appeal of rock music. This track, My Rock Moves (Track 5), features the house band singing the verse, but the chorus is left without vocals so students can step to the front and audition. Use a broom handle as a microphone or borrow a real mic. Get the rest of the class clapping as the student performs. You might even want to select a panel of student judges who would critique performances as on TV tal- ent competitions. PRINTPRINT Track 6 Worksheet # 1 WOWORKRKSHEETSHEET Write a Rock Song Purpose: Introduces the idea of verse- and chorus-writing As portrayed in the episode, the verse of a song carries the story line and the chorus is the catchy part that everyone remembers. Using the Rock Backing Track (Track 6) (a very simple rock piece) and the worksheet, ask students to come up with their own lyrics to fit the music. The verse and the chorus will have four lines each. If this proves too challenging, students could just write a chorus. 2-3 Unit 4 Music Styles IWB 1 Follow the Chord Chart Track 6 Purpose: How to play chords to a rock beat Rock, like the blues, uses three main chords: C, F, and G. Direct students’ attention to the chord chart on the IWB. First, play the chords on the first beat of each measure, counting four for each measure. When students are profi- cient, turn on the backing track Rock Backing Track (Track 6), and see if they can play in rhythm with the drum- beat. Students can play along on their keyboards or Orff instruments. VIDEO REPLAY Track 7 IWB 2 Write a Rock Song Purpose: How to sing in a rock style Replay Write a Rock Song (Track 7), which concludes the episode, and encourage students to sing along with a rock star attitude. Work out rock moves to go with the track as well. 5WEB ACTIVITIES QGrooves Metro / Style Venues With QGrooves, students can select Ride the Metro to the Rock “Rock” style and build their own song Concert venue in exciting San with keyboards, synth/brass, drums, Francisco, California! Listen as percussion, and bass. Add a guitar part Quaver introduces the venue, from QStrum and boom-chic-a-boom, then read all about the roots they have a really groovin’ rock tune! of rock-and-roll. Hear some great rock music while assem- bling the puzzle or playing the matching game. It’s a rockin’ Play activities on your IWB INTERACTIVE White Board good time! 2-4 • QuaverMusic.com Rock 6HOMEWORK Worksheet # 2 PRINTPRINT My Rock Interview WOWORKRKSHEETSHEET Purpose: Respecting the music of parents and grandparents Assign students to interview their parents, grandparents, and neighbors about their interest in rock music using the worksheet provided. Ask them to bring in notes from their conversations so they can report to the class. If the interviewees like older rock music, perhaps they would be willing to loan age-appropriate songs to the student so the class can listen at your next session. I Protest Purpose: Music can be a power for change Ask students to pay careful attention to news stories in coming days and come up with a list of five things that elicit a strong response, such as an issue of social conscience. For example, they may have deep feelings about the environment, war, or treatment of animals. In your next session, discuss whether these would be great subjects for a rock song. If so, how might they approach the subject in a song? Additional session activities 7 ASSESSMENT Rock Assessment Tracks 8, 9, 10, 11 & 12 Worksheet # 3 Assign students the questions on the worksheet. Then play the following tracks for students to identify which songs are rock. PRINTPRINT WOWORKRKSHEETSHEET Track 8 Will It Ever Be the Same? - rock (pop) Track 9 Daddy’s Girl - country folk Track 10 Rock ‘em - rock (1960’s) Track 11 Giuliani’s Variations on a Theme by Handel - classical guitar Track 12 Feeling Fine - rock (indie) Note: After the assessment, you may want to discuss with students the reasons for their answers. 2-5 Unit 4 Music Styles 8 CROSS-CURRICULUM ACTIVITIES Social Studies Rock music has been a powerful way to raise money for charity. In 1985, a musician named Bob Geldof was so moved by news reports about famine in Ethiopia, he decided to stage a rock concert to fund humanitarian relief. It became one of the most-watched TV events of all time (a reported 1.4 billion viewers) and ultimately raised $200 million. Discuss why music is so great for reaching a big audience. What is it about music that brings people together? Science Without amplification, Rock music just wouldn’t be the same. Electric instruments require such de- vices to provide power to their performance. How does an amplifier work? Have students research microphones and amplifiers.

The term "world beat" was first used by the musician and DJ Dan Del Santo in 1983 for his syncretic hybrids of American R&B, URI : https://id.erudit.org/iderudit/1014442ar Afrobeat, and Latin popular styles. In contrast, the term "world music" was DOI : https://doi.org/10.7202/1014442ar coined independently by at least three different groups: European jazz critics (ca. 1963), American ethnomusicologists (1965), and British record companies (1987).

  • MTO 11.4: Spicer, Review of the Beatles As Musicians
    Volume 11, Number 4, October 2005 Copyright © 2005 Society for Music Theory Mark Spicer Received October 2005 [1] As I thought about how best to begin this review, an article by David Fricke in the latest issue of Rolling Stone caught my attention.(1) Entitled “Beatles Maniacs,” the article tells the tale of the Fab Faux, a New York-based Beatles tribute group— founded in 1998 by Will Lee (longtime bassist for Paul Schaffer’s CBS Orchestra on the Late Show With David Letterman)—that has quickly risen to become “the most-accomplished band in the Beatles-cover business.” By painstakingly learning their respective parts note-by-note from the original studio recordings, the Fab Faux to date have mastered and performed live “160 of the 211 songs in the official canon.”(2) Lee likens his group’s approach to performing the Beatles to “the way classical musicians start a chamber orchestra to play Mozart . as perfectly as we can.” As the Faux’s drummer Rich Pagano puts it, “[t]his is the greatest music ever written, and we’re such freaks for it.” [2] It’s been over thirty-five years since the real Fab Four called it quits, and the group is now down to two surviving members, yet somehow the Beatles remain as popular as ever. Hardly a month goes by, it seems, without something new and Beatle-related appearing in the mass media to remind us of just how important this group has been, and continues to be, in shaping our postmodern world. For example, as I write this, the current issue of TV Guide (August 14–20, 2005) is a “special tribute” issue commemorating the fortieth anniversary of the Beatles’ sold-out performance at New York’s Shea Stadium on August 15, 1965—a concert which, as the magazine notes, marked the “dawning of a new era for rock music” where “[v]ast outdoor shows would become the superstar standard.”(3) The cover of my copy—one of four covers for this week’s issue, each featuring a different Beatle—boasts a photograph of Paul McCartney onstage at the Shea concert, his famous Höfner “violin” bass gripped in one hand as he waves to the crowd with the other.

Led by pacesetters such as Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Bobby Bare, artists in Nashville and Austin demanded the creative freedom to make their own country music, different from the pop-oriented sound that prevailed at the time. This exhibition also examines the cultures of Nashville and fiercely independent Austin, and the complicated, surprising relationships between the two.

  • Album Reviews
    Album Reviews I’ve written over 150 album reviews as a volunteer for CHIRPRadio.org. Here are some examples, in alphabetical order: Caetano Veloso Caetano Veloso (A Little More Blue) Polygram / 1971 Brazilian Caetano Veloso’s third self-titled album was recorded in England while in exile after being branded ‘subversive’ by the Brazilian government. Under colorful plumes of psychedelic folk, these songs are cryptic stories of an outsider and traveller, recalling both the wonder of new lands and the oppressiveness of the old. The whole album is recommended, but gems include the autobiographical “A Little More Blue” with it’s Brazilian jazz acoustic guitar, the airy flute and warm chorus of “London, London” and the somber Baroque folk of “In the Hot Sun of a Christmas Day” tells the story of tragedy told with jazzy baroque undertones of “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.” The Clash London Calling Epic / 1979 London Calling, considered one of the greatest rock & roll albums ever recorded, is far from a straightforward: punk, reggae, ska, R&B and rockabilly all have tickets to this show of force that’s both pop and revolutionary. The title track opens with a blistering rallying cry of ska guitar and apocalypse. The post-disco “Clampdown” is a template for the next decade, a perfect mix of gloss and message. “The Guns of Brixton” is reggae-punk in that order, with rocksteady riffs and rock drums creating an intense portrait of defiance. “Train in Vain” is a harmonica puffing, Top 40 gem that stands at the crossroads of punk and rock n’ roll.

Albums by Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple in 1970 codified the new genre, which was marked by distorted guitar ‘power chords’, heavy riffs, wailing vocals and virtuosic solos by guitarists and drummers.

A Business Perspective Number of Pages 45 Date 22.03.2018 Degree Bachelor of Business Administration Degree Programme International Business and Logistics Instructor(s) Michael Keaney, Senior Lecturer Rock music has great importance in the recent history of human kind, and it is interesting to understand the reasons of its de- cline, if it actually exists. Its legacy will never disappear, and it will always be a great influence for new artists but is important to find out the reasons why it has become what it is in now, and what is the expected future for the genre. This project is going to be focused on the analysis of some im- portant business aspects related with rock music and its de- cline, if exists. The collapse of Gibson guitars will be analyzed, because if rock music is in decline, then the collapse of Gibson is a good evidence of this. Also, the performance of independ- ent and major record labels through history will be analyzed to understand better the health state of the genre. The same with music festivals that today seem to be increasing their popularity at the expense of smaller types of live-music events.
