Published 12 May 1993
Suitable for any music course for pupils aged from 14 to 16, this is one of four resource packs which can also provide support for the 11-14 age-range, and especially for Key Stage 3 in England and Wales. The packs aim to extend students' understanding and appreciation of music in West Africa, the Caribbean, India and Indonesia, respectively. They introduce the distinctive melodies and rhythms of each region, and give detailed accounts of the history and geography surrounding the people who perform the music. Each pack consists of details teaching notes with photocopiable information and project sheets for students, two cassettes, and a poster bearing a map of the region and background information about traditions and culture.
