Indian Music

About a month ago there was an Indian Music concert. I had been hearing the students practice every morning as I walked up to the art room, so was excited to hear the concert. Here are a few photos and videos:

Santoor: a type of hammered-dulcimer 
Tabla: a pair of hand drums
Sitar: stringed-instrument

Grade 9 student playing the Indian Classical Guitar. (Teacher playing tabla)

The grand finale! Notice that they don't use any written music - it's all memorized and improvised!
