Time to start a new challenge: celtic music.
These are the proposals activities:
1.- Our students can model an original Celtic musical instrument.
Our Music teacher Miss Lourdes will help us to made our Celtic instrument. She did a prototype of a celtic lyre and during the next days we are going to do with her our own celtic instrument.
Crwth — the ancient Celtic lyre
Not much is known about the ancient Celtic lyre only that it was used by Celtic bards since the 8th century BC and that it was later well known in Rome, where it was called lyra Its resonator was made from wood, while only few components were made from bones. The instrument's strings were made from animal intestine. The Gauls and other Celtic peoples regarded the crwth as a symbol of their independent musical culture,although they had probably received it from the Ancient Greeks. The Goths invoked their tribal gods with prayers and chants, which they accompanied by lyre play. By the time of the Barbarian Invasions in the 5th century AD the lyre had become the most important stringed instrument of the Germanic tribes and was a six-stringed wooden lyre with hollow ledger arms and wooden vortices in the ledger rod. The original Celtic lyre however came with different numbers of strings, as the Lyre of Paule, which is depicted on a statue from Côtes d'Armor in Brittany, apparently had seven strings.
Today, we started to made our Celtic Lyre in the music class.
Step to step
we are being able to make our own Celtic lyre.

2.- We can organizate a Celtic music audition. We can use oovoo because it is free and we can record it and join it to the project.
The activity will consist in joining to oovoo at the same time, the same day and the country which organizes the activity will have prepared a short audition about 10 minutes long.
Any voluntary to organize this activity?
The first it will be to join to oovoo.
