2nd graders have been studying "found sounds," music that is made by things that aren't actual instruments, but rather things you might find and/or assemble. We've watched many examples of found sound music, talked about the science behind how these instruments operate, and now it's our turn to create! Students will be designing their own instrument at home to bring to music class. These instruments should have be well-planned in design, creatively made, sturdy, and be able to make at least two musical sounds. Remember, 2nd graders, to ask for your parents help with anything sharp or electric, and ask permission to use materials.
I've linked some of the videos we've watched in class, as well as other ideas and projects that you might want to explore! I'm so excited to see your creations!
