World Music Introduction Worksheet
A festival of sound
At a community music festival, four performers introduce instruments and musical traditions that are important in different places. A didgeridoo performer explains that the instrument is made and played by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, with distinct traditions connected to Country and community. A Japanese musician demonstrates the koto, a long zither whose strings can be plucked. A tabla player describes the paired drums used in many kinds of Indian music. A djembe player shares how the goblet-shaped drum is used in musical traditions across West Africa. The performers explain that no single instrument represents an entire culture. Music can vary between communities and change over time. Listening carefully and learning from knowledgeable people helps us appreciate it respectfully.
