ASSESSMENT OF THE BENEFITS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF COMMUNICATION FUNCTIONS OF TRADITIONAL MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS OF SELECT CULTURAL FESTIVALS IN IKOT EKPENE SENATORIAL DISTRICT
The study sought to
find out the benefits and significance of the communication functions of
traditional musical instruments at select cultural festivals in the Ikot Ekpene
senatorial district: benefit and significance. Two specific objectives and two
research questions were created to guide the study. The technique used for the
study is the public opinion survey method. The population size is 21
respondents, which covers the selected adults from the various traditional
institutions covering the select seven clans of Ikot Ekpene Senatorial
District. The research instrument used for this study was a personal interview.
Reliability was achieved by testing the instrument on subjects who were not
part of the study sample. The study was able to ascertain the musical and
extra-musical functions of traditional musical instruments at select cultural
festivals in the Ikot Ekpene senatorial district. It was concluded that this
study was able to assess the communication functions of traditional musical
instruments of select cultural festivals in the Ikot Ekpene Senatorial
District. Traditional communication seems to be useful right from when
preparations are being made before, during, and at the end of these cultural
festivals in passing information about the dates, the processes, attire, and
other messages needed by the participants. The attire of the age group
communicates humility. One of the recommendations stated in the study is that
cultural festivals like new yam, water yam, melon, and corn festivals create
tremendous audiences during celebration. Such occasions should be utilized to
disseminate useful information, create awareness, and introduce innovation.
