Music Around the World

Music Around the World


An exchange and discussion of music from all over the world, for instance, instruments around the world, and styles of music in performance. Peace through Music will be the theme for all topics.

Two initial topics of discussion:
1) Remix: Each teacher and their students will choose a song that they know very well and remix the song. In the end, they will discuss the strengths or weaknesses of the song they chose, the story behind the song, the intentions of the composer for writing the song, whether the composer is also the singer, if not, how well did the singer convey the thoughts of the composer. After this, they will compare their remixed song with the original work, and answer the same questions. Other topics will answer questions relating to them.

2) Musical Instruments Around the World: Participants are invited to send pictures of their musical instruments in their countries, describe them, and eventually write sentences about different events where people play them.
