Didgeridoo-ing It Right At West Islip’s Bayview
"It added a new dimension to their knowledge of the art and culture of Australia," said Miss Lucie.
From West Islip School District: Learning about Australia took a fresh turn at West Islip’s Bayview Elementary School after students in Maria Lucie’s classroom learned about the sacred instrument, the didgeridoo.
Student Natalie Aspetti’s mother, a music teacher, was able to borrow a didgeridoo from her school and shared it with the class, giving the students a chance to examine and play the instrument. “My students not only learned about the uses of the didgeridoo, but were able to try it out,” said Lucie. “It added a new dimension to their knowledge of the art and culture of Australia.” Australia 01: Students at West Islip’s Bayview Elementary School not only learned about the sacred Australian instrument the didgeridoo, but got to play one.
