BLUES MUSIC by Moira Donohue (Music Genres)

​​A Little Jam. . .(The Music Kind)

I chose to highlight this one for the littles because it is a simple, but well-defined example of the blues form while talking about things they can relate to, and I think it would be helpful for teachers and families to add this to their daily playlist as it could improve responsibility around the house (and maybe the school). There are more authentic performances, background music, and much more on the playlist. Check it out!
