World Music mind maps

Using World Music mind maps

These maps organize topics into branches, so you can follow a musical style or work through its related ideas. The selection includes maps on Gamelan, Bhangra, Irish music, Rag Desh and Yiri, as well as broader maps on world and folk music.

For a starting point, open Irish Music. Its branches bring together dances such as the jig and reel with instruments including the harp and fiddle. Use them to make a short list of terms you want to remember, then check how they connect on the map.

Choose a second map on the same topic and compare the ideas it includes. You can also cover a branch and try to recall its details before looking again. When you want to check what you remember or read more, switch to a relevant quiz or notes on the World Music unit page.

Pick a map and follow one branch at a time.
