Pohirieth helps students learn unique instruments that they have often never seen or heard before. He analyzes the history, development and playing techniques of various Native Andean instruments such as the Zampoñas (Andean Pan Pipes), the Quena (a recorder-like flute) and the Bombo (drum from African influence), to name a few. Through this process, Pohirieth creates curiosity, cooperation and collaboration for exploring new music and culture.
