The african music for my express for my opinion would be that this song makes me happy this song sounds good.I like the instrument that there playing its sounds so good and the instrument looks so cool this song makes me happy,excitny,it makes me want to sing.Its make me want to run and to jummp a lot thats all I ahve to say.
ReplyDeletei think that i could play kissco but i think that it would be hard because i tried out for harp leasons but it was kind hard because you had to remeber all the string notes and it would be hard but i still think i could play the kissoco. the insturment that the guy played looked weird and it kind of looked like one of thoese Hawaiian things were its round on the bottoom and they would hit the bottoom and it waould make noise.
ReplyDeletemy opinnen is i really liked it i through it was vary interesting it was vary good and it was kinda like a harp but smaller and has more smother sound but the insterment he has is a little differnt 40 i really liked it it had mostly high sounds and didnt hear any loo keys and and the shape of the insterment was vary cool it was holo in side and was a vary awesome
ReplyDeleteWell my opinion about the Kora music is that it looks complicated to play that type of instrument because it looks like you have to play them fast and also keep a beat going. Then the other reason is that since that there's a lot of strings but that person that was playing the instrument was only using the sides and not the other strings. Also I like the tune and the sound of the instrument. Also I think that it would be hard to play even though I was learning to play the guitar and the piano when I was little,anyway it would be hard to play an instrument when it from a different place or region because its not the same that the person is used to. But I do also think that it would be fun to play because the new experience that they might want to try so it might be fun.
ReplyDeletewhat i think of the song is that the man was singing the languge of the africain. lisening to the music it make my feel cool and i want to know is how do they make the harp and that they can sing in different languge at once. what i think is that they should teach other people that the can sing as good as they can. I wish that they had more people playing at the same time and that might sound good and that the will have like an song group together and that will sound like an perfasional and people might like it alot better.
ReplyDeleteit sounds realy cool like the ding sound and the tone of it. the insterment looks funny because its like a big brown ball onthe botom ,and the shape on the string part looks funny and diffrent from any other insterment.i wonder if like a porfetinal does a really asome solo ,that will pe cool.and all the insterments from africa look unique and asome .and i wonder how they play it.
ReplyDeleteI think that the african music video was not anything that I would have expected it to be . I never knew that they used an instrument like a harp . I dont know every african instrument but I have one at home . I think it is a djembe cause the way that mr . josh described it . It has pig skin or cow skin tightened around it and it is tightened with some kind of twine or rope .
ReplyDeletethe african music for my express for my opinion would be that this song makes me happy this song sounds good. i like the instruments that they were playing it sounds so good and the instuments looks so cool this song makes me happy,excitny,it makes me want to sing. it makes me want t orun and to jump a lot that all i have to say.
ReplyDeleteI think the African guy was very talented I think the instrument was pretty cool . If you listen to it it sounds kind of like Chinese music because the kind of high pitched sound from the instrument and the instrument looks like it could be from china. When I listen to it kind of sounds like a little English and Indian at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI think that this African song sounds cool and the guy playing it is really good. The instrument itself looks kind of heavy and in my opinion the base looks like a type of nut. It’s like a drum and a guitar at the same time and would be awesome to play. I wonder if you play something long enough on that instrument if your fingers would feel weird.
ReplyDeletei think that african music sounded cool and i liked it.it was awesome.i never got into african music like this....i even like african rock it sounds like american but not in english i love the drums of africa.its called the jembe i think......yeah its called that............well bye!
ReplyDeleteI felt tense and stressed about all the work I had to do because I was sick and when I woke up everything is blue and it is still blue and I was relaxed but in the middle my feet started to hurt. I learned just by a simple 3 minute relax session you can be relaxed for a while.
ReplyDeletethat was COOL it real fealt relaxed and nothing . it was like i was not in the class room
ReplyDelete.i was like half aslep and i feled like i was somewhere else. i cinda liked it how your like a computer and you were on sleep mode. it feled comterfull.i lerned that yoir brain cane take you away from now and put you some place eles
i think it sounds awesome i cant belive that they even made african american music i mean it is cool. if we didnt were would the beats come from the awesome beats! i like the drums mostley because there a great beat they can go awesome. Bye
ReplyDeletei think that that was really good but when i got up my ankels were hurting because they were faced out and when i got up i could bearly walk.and i was in the beach and i almost fell a sleep. and when i woke up it was so blue.
ReplyDeletei liked the relaxing thingy and i tryed not to open my eyes but it was tepting and i fell asleep later i had to wake up and it hurt when i got up.then i fell asleep again.hahahahahahah.bye
ReplyDeletewhen i got up from that veary sleepy thing i was about to fall down and sleep, thats very relaxing. when we were on the growned we were all wanting to sleep and it was a great exersise i felt like i was in heavin when i had my eyes closed i was in the air and thats all i felt and how i will always feel so. Bye
ReplyDeleteHow I felt before the exercise was kinda tense,jumpy,and a little bit tire. Then what learned while we were doing the exercise was learning how to relax just by laying down and stretching the muscular parts of our body and making it tense and relieving it after a couple of seconds,and breathing in and out calmly so that your mind and your body would be relaxed. Then after the exercise I felt more relaxed than earlier and I was kinda full of energy than being tired. So that was a good way on relaxing your mind and body. Also that last thing that I learned was that our brain or minds are like a computer.
ReplyDeletewhat we did today is is that we had to close our eyes and listen to what Mr.Josh says and we have to do and we do that for five seconds and then we can rest and then we rested and then i fell asleep for a while and then i woke up and it herts and it fells good but when i woke up m ankles and my but herts and. We had to point our feet and we had to put our our hands in a fist and we had to point at our feet and it hert my ankles and when i woke up i whent back to sleep twice so it was fun and bad.
ReplyDeleteThe relaxation technique was really cool I liked it a lot. I can use it when I’m stressed out or just can’t fall asleep. I have never been able to relax that easily before so it was a new feeling for me. So it was cool .it was really fun
