While listening to each multicultural presentation, I was able to learn about many different things and concepts, which I had never heard about before. Each group did a different lesson and informed the class about different subjects.

I also really enjoyed the historical background they gave. I have seen drums, and moraccas, and a guiro, however, I didn’t know anything about them or how they are played correctly. They also did a great job at showing short videos of each instrument being played so each group knew exactly how to play what they were given and
