Harmonious sounds from the Harmonium

You are here

Kajal D from Year 10 Music presented a viva voce for the class based on the Indian Harmonium.

A viva voce is a form of oral assessment that helps students to develop valuable communication skills. Each Year 10 Music student prepared and presented a viva voce on a topic of their choice from the Unit Music of Another Culture. Students were asked to focus their viva voce topic on a particular aspect of their own family heritage.

Kajal brought the harmonium into College, explained it’s features and described it’s role within an ensemble in traditional Indian music. We learnt so much from Kajal and loved learning about this instrument.

This activity helps students to prepare for musicological study at HSC level.
