The SCV Blues Society's mission is to deliver educational experiences for students of all ages with "The Blues", the roots and heritage of modern American music, in an effort to spark an interest in, and an appreciation for, all of the musical art forms.

Blues music is America's music and young people especially, should know about the musical heritage of America and of the Blues. Educating them on how America's music has evolved and how the Blues form the roots of today's popular music is important to use in their teaching.


The recognition and exposure that Blues music has recently received from advertising, and most recently from the award winning movie "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou" has let more people appreciate the sound, style and art that defines the Blues.


In our new "Blues In the Schools" program, SCV Blues Society musicians, combined with a culturally diverse all volunteer staff comprised of former educators, music professionals and others with a genuine interest in child development, will be invited into schools to conduct different programs tailored to specific age groups.


We will teach the history of the Blues, familiarize the students with famous Blues musicians, different styles of Blues, and how to write, sing and perform the Blues.


While our program is in its infancy and just beginning to obtain the required financial support required to put on these programs, we have strong feelings that it will succeed.


We recognize it is very beneficial to expose children whose musical experience may be limited to just what they hear from older siblings or what they may see and hear on commercial Radio and TV to additional forms of traditional music.


We will attempt to provide a small amount of the history behind the Blues, a small amount about how the Blues has evolved to the music of today, a touch of music composition and education all mixed together with a whole lot of fun.
