National Music Center
Thank you to our three volunteers who joined us today at the National Music Center. Despite the last-minute change in plans once we arrived at the Center the students had a great time visiting the exhibits and getting having the opportunity to hear the amazing organ demonstration. The children shared some terrific comments and we had a great discussion about our own individual experiences and theories regarding how different instruments make a sound.
The children were also very intrigued by the concept of movies that were once created in black and white without sound. Many ideas were shared about activities that they would like to as a follow up to our visit. Some of which were; making their own musical instruments, creating a story in a story workshop and adding a soundtrack to it.
" I know that a violin makes sounds by strumming or plucking the strings because I take violin lessons"
"A piano is played when you hit the strings and the strings vibrate"
"The piano makes different sounds because the stings are different shapes"
"I think it is because they are different sizes like skinning and fat"
"It is because the strings are longer and shorter"
