I used a section of the unit Islamic Civilization and the Arts from SPICE in my general music class. It introduces students to instruments traditionally used in the Islamic cultures. There is a handout with pictures of the instruments, and a CD with recorded samples of each instrument. It made it very easy to introduce a new type of sound to students who are most familiar with the Western style of music. I would highly recommend this unit to music teachers, or to anyone who wants to incorporate more arts into any other subject matter.
