Time to visit the Musical Instrument Museum in Scottsdale, AZ and explore the way cultures around the world make music. Last year, we spent half a day wandering through the first and second floors, learning about each country's instruments and how they evolved over time. The common theme is rhythm, song, dance, all expressions of each cultures history and future. Although many instruments which do the same thing, such as drums and flutes, look different from country to country, it is amazing that cultures all use them for the same things - the beat, the melody, the message of tribe and community.
Tomorrow, we will enjoy
the singing of Lisa Fischer in the MIM Concert hall, an acoustical jewel that is just the right size so that everyone in the hall sees, hears and feels the music. Should be fun.
