Editing Olitskur (section)

===Arts and Entertainment===
Olitsken music is traditionally a capella and choral: if an ianthina says they're in a band, they typically mean they're in a choir. Scat singing and beatboxing have come into popularity as a new and exciting musical development. When instruments are involved, they're almost always drums or percussion, but on special occasions, you'll see strings as well. String instruments are difficult to make--usually they're metal or ice--so few know how to play. It's extra special when one does. Woodwind instruments don't work underwater, so they're virtually never used. 

Song is incredibly important in Olitskur. Due to the lack of written language, all history, lessons, and more are stored in stories and song. A great many songs form the basis of any child's education.
