12 Bar Blues

reflection question: how is my understanding learning blues and applying it?

my understanding of blues is quiet clear, since now i know that the blues has a relation with jazz music. or in other words, blues is a part of jazz because long time ago, since the 12 bar blues concept is played/performed by jazz artists today. i am able to apply it by creating a composition of the 12 bar blues.

today in instrument class, we made our own composition of the 12 bar blues. i learned before jazz was invented, blues was found at firsthand and thats when they created the 12 bar blues. in my opinion, creating a composition with the 12 bar blues is challenging because the rhythm is different from other songs, it includes imprivisation and syncopation. we also practiced with the provided accompaniment.
