The News and Clues About Didgeridoos: The Story of Australian Music
The Australian didgeridoo has been used by indigenous people to tell stories and communicate in their environment. Students will delight in this performance led by professional teaching artist Trevor Stewart, a specialist in musical instruments from around the world, as they learn about this unique instrument and its uses. The performance will also include contemporary Australian music and will conclude with a didgeridoo “song” that the students will create!
