Thank you so much for sharing. I would like to do this dance at a school presentation. I know there is a video link of the dance with the music. Is there any published recording of the song – or another song that would work well with the dance steps. At this presentation, I typically have recorded music with folk dances. Thanks for any additional info you can provide. :-). Thank you for your time.

My students love singing this song and have been so curious about Diwali since I presented them this unit. I was wondering if you have / can guide me to where I can purchase an instrumental track for your song “Diwali Diwali” arranged by John Higgins featured on Music Express? I would love to include this in our upcoming December concert featuring different countries and cultures.

Thank you!

Thank you very much for your teaching on Diwali music. I truly appreciate your explanations, pronunciation guidelines, and videos. I would like to know if you could share the Orff arrangement that is played in the video performed by the Berkshire-Hudson Valley chapter,
Thanks in advance,

Is there a way that I can post an audio file here?
