• Music in African Culture. Learn about African music. Understand how geography influenced the creation of the traditional music and musical instruments of Polynesians, sub-Saharan Africans, and Native North Americans.
• Identify examples of a membranophone, idiophone, aerophone, and chordophone.
• Learn about some of the traditional musical instruments and styles of dance developed by Polynesians, sub-Saharan Africans, and Native North Americans.
• Discover the ways music has been used as a form of expression in each of these three cultures, including the spirited call-and-response pattern of African song; the ceremonial beat of Native American tribal drums; and the native dances of Polynesians, who use rhythmic arm and hand movements to illustrate lyrics.
• Discover the many benefits of using online video for visual learning. Educational video for teaching the K-12 curriculum provides online learning for children and students of all ages and abilities. Using subtitled video - or video with closed captions - enables children to choose between watching, listening to, or reading each presentation whichever best suites their individual learning style. A wonderful option particularly for dyslexia and special needs education.
