Program Description
This interactive assembly program challenges students to think about how using recycled materials to make folk instruments is similar in Africa, South America, and America. Using the STEM engineering design model as a guide, Curtis Blues performs on a wide variety of instruments made out of gourds as well as “up-cycled” re-purposed materials. These examples encourage discussions with students about how responsible green practices can go far beyond just turning a discarded bottle into another bottle by recycling. We can use discarded items to create musical instruments just as people have been doing all over the world throughout history.
