We did it! Three months ago, when we began our deep dive into the music of United States and Canada, we may have thought to ourselves, with a chuckle, “this music is a treat, what with all the jazz and blues and hip hop and all, but are we really going to learn anything new?” The answer…….OF COURSE! Though for our last week of this North American, let’s try something different. American and Canadian musicians are darned resourceful. When we have an instrument in hand, we play it. When we don’t have an instrument in hand…we make an instrument out of what we have lying around the house, then we play IT. This week let’s take a tour of homemade instruments that Americans and Canadians have used to make the world sing.
We are revising the AllAroundThisWorld.com site and are currently using a new (better!) site — ExploreEverywhere.com — to tell you all about our curriculum offerings and how to become one of our teachers. That said, if you were on ExploreEverywhere, you clicked to find more information about a song or lesson, and landed here, you’re in the right place! Some links may be broken and a detail or two may be out of date…but close the popup window and enjoy!
