Indian music

The vast region of the Indian subcontinent is home to many different people. Hundreds of musical traditions exist side by side, each with their own songs, dances and instruments. Different Instruments are favoured in different areas.

Stringed instruments such as the sitar and the bowed fiddle are both popular in north India, while a range of flutes and trumpets are flavoured in the south. But the best known Indian classical music comes from the north.

Most of their music is based on a complex sequence of scales called ragas, each one is to a certain mood time of day or season. To play this kind of music with its complicated patterns of notes and rhythms takes many years of practice. The voice is also most considered as an instrument.

Most are faithful songs inspired by the Hindu, Muslim and Buddhist faiths. The soaring expressive melodies Qawwali music, played in India and Pakistan, are thought to bring the performer and listener closer to God.

India music can be played with so many different instruments and rhythms and over 200 different ragas.

Pollution ( class speech )

Pollution can be nosie, air, rubbish,oil ,raw sewage or dirty water. But today I will be focusing on water/sea pollution. What causes sea pollution?Well most sea pollution is caused by dumping rubbish, raw sewage, oil or fossil fuels. A good indicator of pollution is CO2 ( carbon dioxide).Another common way to cause pollution is a oil spill. All fuel, rubbish and raw sewage have effects on marine animals lives. Habit get invaded and marine animals lose family members. Sadly this is caused by humans. I can call out an number on how many animals get killed in a year. But that doesn’t matter. What does matter is that we help stop this and make a difference because rubbish junk food rappers coke bottles and other rappers are trashing our committees all around new Zealand and even the world.
Another reason why is one day marine animals will be nothing more. For example imagine a poor harmless turtle against plastic wrap. Wrapped around the turtle. Strangling him with hardly any breath left. Finally the turtle gives up and drifts to the ground. Many animals die like this. That’s not ok. This doesn’t just happen in the sea it can happen on highways  beaches basketry anywhere. Alot  of animals lives are at risk. Even at your pets.You may be wondering where all this rubbish comes from? Some people recycle their plastic and tin items and some people don't and that's a big problem.This is half the reason why many animals get killed. Recycling and putting rubbish in the bin a starting point. Be a tidy kiwi.So step up and stop pollution and think about what your doing and what its doing before you do it . HELP STOP POLLUTION!!!
