Jerome visited our school and shared his 'taonga puoro' - singing treasures.
Jerome skillfully showed us how he is able to make music from
percussive instruments such as rocks;
wind instruments such as gourds, bones, putatara (shells) and wood;
and whirling instruments.
He played music from a whale tooth.
The tooth had been made into a nguru - nose flute.
Here is a compilation of the sounds of Jerome's instruments.

HI B4
ReplyDeleteNiamh thought this video was pretty cool. She watched it during our reading rotation and wanted the class to watch it too. We thought that some of the instruments sounded so calming that we could have fallen asleep listening to them.
How many instruments did he share? Which one was your favourite?

Jerome enjoyed reading this post and hearing about another person called Jerome!
ReplyDeleteWe all were surprised at the musical instruments. We thought they sounded like animal noises.
