This first student episode is by Amelia.  Students will be finding links between the music of two distinct musical cultures.  These are taken from student's media scripts from their "musical links investigations" that they create for their IB music exams.  In this episode, Amelia will be comparing a Norwegian folk metal piece to a Japanese shamisen piece.

Music in the Episode:
