I love to listen to the different sounds of the beautiful, traditional, historical Maori musical instruments. My students have Special Needs and they are so gifted in music. It will certainly be good to show my music students the videos and maybe we can make some ro`ria's and learn how to play them. The Te Papa national museum is an icon! Keep up the awesome work! I have taken my family and friends on a visit to the museum three times, and would love to bring my music students on a visit this time.
