If Musical Instruments Could Talk...Object-Based Learning (OBL), both in the form of field trips and classroom experiences, is generally acknowledged to have many benefits. Exploring the artifacts of material culture – encountering the “real thing” – can bring us closer to the past, help us make meaning of the present, and allow us to consider the future. Music is one of the more pleasant ways to experience culture. Musical instruments, as artifacts of culture, provide us with direct links to all people of all time. They continue to “play on” by reflecting a culture’s history, geography, and culture.
