The students need to learn and understand this topic since through the lecture, through the voice and/or musical instruments, one can learn how the inhabitants of the Cordillera communicate their feelings towards each other and the climate, their past, and their supernatural beliefs. The main goal is the production of fundamental literacy in music.

In addition to songs and chanted poetry, Cordillera
music is distinctively made up of two sound
characteristics of instruments based on their respective
materials - the first, made of bamboo (flutes, percussion
instruments), and the second, made of metal (gongs).

5. In the highlands of Luzon, music is related
to different occasions such as life cycle
events and occupational activities and
various rituals. During the agricultural
cycle, peace pacts courtship, marriage
and death rites, musical performances
may be witnessed in the region.
