I think there's a lot of western music that goes very well with tradition Aboriginal instruments. They could learn a lot about music and how to incorporate their heritage in western music. |

That's a really tough question. As a "Western" person myself I risk being arrogant in answering that question. In fact I believe I have no right to even contemplate that. Having said that I would say Westerners should have a spirit of generosity to teach whatever Western knowledge the Aboriginal people may want to acquire. |
