“THE THREE MAJOR TRADITIONS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF PHILIPPINE ART”
Three main roots are apparent:
Old Asian influenced music referred to as the indigenous;
Indigenous musical instruments like the flute, drums, rainsticks, native guitars and bells are made of
bamboo, twigs, pebbles, animal skin, seeds and seashells. The careful manipulation of these materials
magically produces sounds and unique instruments used in tribal dances and ceremonies.
(The tumpong (also inci by the Maranao) is a type of Philippine bamboo flute used by the
Maguindanaon, half the size of the largest bamboo flute, the palendag.)

American/European inspired classical, semi-classical, and popular music.
The American regime lasted from 1898 to 1946 during which time Philippine music underwent another
process of transformation. In the newly established public school system, music was included in the
curriculum at the elementary and later at the high school levels. Music conservatories and colleges were
established at the tertiary level. Graduates from these institutions included the first generation of
Filipino composers whose works were written in western idioms and forms. American lifestyle and pop
culture gave rise to music created by Filipinos using western pop forms. Referred to as Pinoy pop it
includes a wide range of forms: folk songs, dance tunes, ballads, Broadway type songs, rock’ n’ roll,
disco, jazz, and rap.
