In Martinique, music is an important part of the culture, and in this lesson starter Maya and her friends talk about the instruments they play and the music they like. Maya plays the guitar, Theo plays the piano, Antoine plays the tibois, a percussion instrument, and Emma plays the recorder (badly!). This lesson starter supports the teaching of Unit 14 of the QCDA scheme of work, including learning the names of instruments, and how to say 'je vais jouer'. There are detailed teaching notes to accompany the film. Shot on location in Fort de France, Martinique, the video offers opportunities to develop language skills and intercultural understanding.
