My First Encounter with African Culture - Music and Dance

This is my first time attempt the African drum. I feel it is very interesting and amazing. Before I attempt that, I just feel this activity is boring and can't make us Interested in this.

That day after lunch, I went to school with my friends. We had OLE activity about African Culture- Music and Dance. We were waiting the tutor taught us how to play the African drum. At the same time, when we were waiting, the weather was so hot and we started to impatient. Then, the activity was started. First, the tutor taught us some important basic beat and some student can try to play. That moment, I felt very shock because the beat was so unanimous and it was very powerful. My friend Mary said that the sound like a army. I approve Mary's metaphor

I look at each student, they were concentrate one's attention on play the African drumming and make it can have more momentum. After that, the tutor taught us put the beat, music and dance mixing. I felt it is very funny because the tutor's dance. Then, the tutor invited some student to dance together. But some student was so shy they don't dance too exaggeration. I felt those student were brave, at least they had not refuse the tutor. Fortunately, I have not been invited by the tutor Ha-Ha!

Drawing to a close, Mr. Hu has dancing with the tutor together. We were very happy because this was rare. At last after this activity, I have to change my opinion. I felt this activity about African Culture- Music and Dance was very interesting. I will want to play the African drum again next time.
