Medieval

Ah! My favourite station!

Or you could listen here.

And read this page.

Go on an internet hunt. Find out about any of these instruments: hurdy gurdy, zither, dulcimer, vielle.

Three of them, three of you? Make up a dance! (If Shark won't play, I'll join in.)

You can find many examples of medieval music on YouTube. Start here and see where you go.

Music development and music history. What can you find out about Pope Gregory's singalong?
