their country of origin, and how they relate to similar instruments can be found

HERE at “List of Musical Instruments” on WikiPedia.

  • The percussion list has photos of each instrument.
  • The other lists have links to each instrument.
    • If you hover over the underlined title (with your mouse), sometimes a photo or description will pop up.
    • If you click on the link, it should take you to that instrument’s information in WikiPedia.

Think about songs you listen to … Do you know where your song started?

Often, the original artists write, perform and record their song.  It becomes very well known.

Other artists are inspired to create their own version of that song – this is called a cover.  Sometimes the new version sounds very similar … and sometimes it does not.

Click on the 3 links below for the in-class handout and videos of 2 perfomances of LEAN ON ME by Bill Withers

 


Handout = Lean On Me = It is the same song – but it sounds different


Version #1 = Lean on Me – original = Bill Withers = live performance, 1973
