It's been a long time without posting. I am currently in an Ethnomusicology course as part of my masters program. Here I figured I should share some videos/teaching tools for different musics of different cultures. This week one of the cultures studied is the music of the Aboriginal tribes found in Austrailia. Here are some videos related to this type of music.

When introducing a new culture to a group of students, I made sure to discuss that culture differences will be apparent, but we shouldn't dwell on them. The moment someone makes fun of, or shows disrespect, we stop watching and do a different activity.
