Tumutumu (found instruments)

On Monday to celebrate the beginning of Te Wiki o te Reo 2012. Whaea Rangimaria our friendly Resource Teacher of Maori taught us about tumtumu (instruments made from found resources).

We learnt how to identify the different names for each instrument in Maori and English. We practiced tapping or hitting the pieces of kohatu (rock), iwi (bone), stick (rakau) korari (flax stalk) together to keep a beat.

Whaea Rangimaria also had a couple of instruments that had been carved from found resources. This is very clever as these instruments are recycled from nature.

Some of us like Kylos and Michael gave the porotiti a whirl to see if they could get them to make a sound.

We learnt a waiata that incorporates a variety of dialects used across different iwi throughout New Zealand. When we were finished our learning we sung and played our taonga puoro (instruments). You can check it out, listen and leave a comment.
