OOooooo! Listeners are treated to the eerie sounds of exotic world instruments in these unique, interactive programs. The moans of an Ocean Harp, (used in Alfred Hitchcock’s movie “The Birds”) the whisper of an Aztec Wind Whistle, the rustle of Deer-Hoof Rattles, the booming of giant drums, the shriek of an Eagle Bone Whistle, the crash of a gong, the haunting tones of crystal singing bowls, and more! Students get to feel the penetrating vibrations of giant deer-skin drums and Australian Didjeridoos over their bodies, and they learn an authentic Native American wolf chant, ending in blood-curdling HOWLS! They also learn how to make the strange, wild cries of the Australian didjeridoo, and are shown how to construct one for themselves. And finally, in the tradition of the Ancient Ones, they share their own stories or “journeys” with the eerie sounds, which make wonderful follow-up projects in writing and art.
