Group Presentation: Global Music

This presentation was well organised, the first and second speakers especially knew their content well. It was unfortunate, however, that the management of time was not better orchestrated and so the third speaker who had an equal amount to say was not given a fair opportunity to say it in due to extreme time constraints. There was also a bit of alarm when the 2 minute sign was shown and time was wasted here because they were not repaired for it. 5/8

Time was wasted showing some of the videos. One or two would of been suffice. I liked the Swiss presenter’s link to the instrument and it’s actual use as a cow horn. To me this in particular distinguished the cultural explicitness of music in Switzerland. 4/8

Presenters spoke well. Again, the last presenter was a little rushed due to restrictions on time. Still showed videos, perhaps should of not shown these videos as they were unnecessary. Appeared extremely flustered under the stress. 4/6

All members appeared to contribute equally albeit too much. All speakers seemed well informed and interested in the topic and this interest then went across to the audience. I enjoyed their presentation overall. 2/3.
