My First Encounter with African Culture - Music and Dance


On 27th June, 2012 all F.5 students had an OLE (Other Learning Experience) activity about African Drum. This was my first time exposure to African culture. The African Drum and Music were passionate, so that all the students were very involved. Although the venue was small and the weather was hot, we were enjoying in African drumming.
The coach is African and speaks English, but we can use music and body language to communicate and interact, I thought that was the OLE activity’s purpose. Besides, we had a surprise during the activity. Our principal and teachers also took part in the activity. Don’t you think this is a rare opportunity to see our principal and teachers dance and sing?

Because of this activity, I knew more about African culture. African Drum also called Djembe. Originated from Kenya, was belong to the indigenous musical instruments. Pass though the Individuals gave different forces to create a Poly-rhythmic sound environment. Also, African drumming can build up our teamwork skill and leadership skill.

I though I had an unprecedented experience on that day. This is a meaningful and exciting activity for all students. Also we can take a rest after the exam.

Um…I think we will not have such a happy time like this activity in coming year because these two mouths are our last summer holiday in secondary school, and we will have our HKDSE.

This blog is my first English blog, I want to use this blog to improve my poor English, hope all 5E girls can have a fun and improvement tgt.

    During the activity, we can see that music is a universal langauge, no matter what differnt languages we speak in.

    Yes, it is hoped that we can improve our English and broaden our interests and horizons by writing and reading blogs in English. It is also a good way to share our life and thoughts with others.
