• Select your choice of "Cultural Groups" and click on the plus to the left to open up the audio files.

• Click on the cultural group or country you want to explore.

• Click on a favorite track and listen carefully as you take notes.

• Analyze the music and discuss how the various elements of music are used in each track.

• Click on the details tab on the right window to locate more information.
