Hunters theme video and reflection

In this music lesson the teacher showed us how to play the hunters theme on the piano and then she gave us this sheet that had the notes of the hunters theme on it. We learned how to play it on the keyboard and we got our partner to record us so we can post it on our blog.

The Djembe Drum

The djembe drum is part of the percussion family. The djembe drum is made in North Africa r in the Middle East out of clay, wood or metal. The head of the drum ( or the skin)  is normally made out of animal skin but nowadays it's made out of plastic so when you hit it it makes that ' smack sound'. You can play the djembe drum siting or standing up but usually it's played sitting down.
