https://www.vaughanpl.info/tsc/ Week 4, Challenge 1 Australian music – Past and present Indigenous music in Australia dates back over 60,000 years. The most famous instrument is the didgeridoo, which has been around for roughly 15,000 years. Australia also has a rich tradition of folk songs known as “bush ballads,” many of which were sung by prisoners sent to Australia by the British in the late 1700s. Additionally, Australia is home to many well-known contemporary artists, such as AC/DC, The Bee Gees, Keith Urban, Kylie Minogue, and Sia. Instructions: 1. Explore the music of Australia’s past: Listen to a piece of music featuring the didgeridoo or a traditional bush ballad. See “Library Resources” on the next page for examples.
