Indian Instruments
During our learning about Indian music, we have looked at some instruments that are popular in Indian music.
The Sitar – a string instrument played upright like a guitar.
The Tabla – a type of drum played with hands.
The Indian Flute– a short wind instrument.
Within our unit, we learnt:
What is a rag? (A series of notes which Indian music uses to create the tune.)
What is the rule of a rag? (It only uses a given set of notes.)
We then used these rules to create our own rags with our partner.
