Indian Music Presentation
ArtSpace Charter School
Swannanoa, NC

I was asked by the Social Studies teacher, to give a presentation on Indian music to a group of 45 middle school students. This year, they have been studying World History. I chose to focus on a timeline from the origins of Indian music, (paying attention to the tal, melody, and styles) up to the modern day of Indian-jazz fusion. I created a power point presentation with support from CD recordings, and online videos.

We had a lively discussion and learned to discern different instruments, genres and rhythms. The students were engaged and everyone expressed how much they enjoyed the presentation.
