WORLD MUSIC

Watch this short video about music around the world and then answer some questions!

The Pachelbel Canon is one of the most famous pieces of music ever written. You might have heard it on a commercial, during a TV show or even played at a wedding that you attended. It was written around the year 1680!!!!!That's about 340 years ago!


MELODIC DIRECTION
