The stars of this series are the 'tools” of music: its instruments. Children attending will get the chance to familiarise themselves with these instruments in the context of authentic live music and with the assistance of expert musicians. In this semester we return to the world at large, introducing children to the folk music and rarely seen or heard instruments of various parts of the globe at concerts and subsequent presentations of musical instruments.
The didgeridoo is the wind instru...ment of the Aborigines of Western Australia. It is traditionally made from the trunk of eucalyptus trees that have been hollowed out by termites, but, because of the way it is played, it nonetheless belongs to the family of brass instruments. The inside of the didgeridoo is generally tapered, with its diameter smaller at the end you blow into. Beeswax is often applied to the top rim of the instrument, which can be moulded to the shape of the player's mouth. The exterior is usually decorated with traditional paintings.
Our partner in producing this series is the Ethnosound world music instrument shop.
