This term in Indonesian we have been having lots of fun by getting out the instruments and learning Indonesian folk songs.  From ‘Burung Kakatua’ to ‘Rasa Sayang eh’ ukuleles have been strummed to within an inch of their lives and marimbas and xylophones have been mapping out island melodies while we all sing along.  Many of our students have a well-developed musical intelligence and find exploring the language through song, suits their learning style.  Our older students have also worked on translating and creating songs.  A recording deal and world tour are waiting in the wings as soon as the band have thrashed out their creative differences.
