For my Culture Presentation, I will discuss Indian music, from classical sitar, tabla, and violin to contemporary Bollywood and Tollywood music. I hope to do research on the different ragas, or types of music, that classical musicians play. I also hope to research the history of Bollywood and Tollywood so that I can trace the changes that have been made in contemporary Indian music since these industries began. I also hope to find out the importance of these two types of music in Indian culture today, and whether people prefer one type over another.
To discuss this topic thoroughly, I'll need to learn vocabulary relating to classical music:
names of instruments
words for song, melody, harmony, rhythm, etc.
names of different types of songs
verbs like to play, to improvise
I will also need to learn vocabulary to describe contemporary music:
words for song, movie, dance, actor/actress, singer
names of famous singers
names of some famous songs
verbs like to sing, to dance, to perform
