Here is an interesting site with pictures of musical instruments used by the cherokee indians. I decided to find info in the cherokee because we seem to have so many in South Carolina. hubpages.com/hub/music-and-the-Cherokee-Indians
The site discuses how vocals are the central element of their music. The instruments as illistrated in the pictures are drums, shakers, and the flute. They are used to merely accompany the vocals.
This is another website for native american music. It focoses on the Soux tribes. It mentions the flute, drums, and shaker as well. Vocals are the central element throughout all Native American Music. www.denawilliams.com/sioux
Since I did a presentation in South African Music last semester, I thought I would just post some info about South African music. The central element of this style is vocal just as Native American music. Some of the instruments used are the Bow, Shakers, and tin whistle. Here is the website.

The hubpage you send us to is neat. Do try to set it up as an actual link, though--it's easier for your reader that way.
ReplyDeleteAnd the second link (denawilliams/sioux) sent me to a different page entirely. Be sure try out your links yourself both before and after posting.
