Home made instruments Drum: Decorate a coffee can, ice cream pail, or any other empty, clean container.

Does hitting it with different tools make different sounds? 3. Do the top, bottom, and sides make different sounds? 4. Does it sound different if you put the drum on the floor versus holding it or putting it in your lap and tapping on it? 5. Can you tap it loudly? Quietly? Fast? Slow? Shaker: Use a clean, empty plastic container with a screw on lid such as a mayonnaise jar or peanut butter jar. Experiment by putting different objects inside such as: Cotton balls Rice Dry noodles Washers or Nuts Legos Bottle Caps Pop Tabs Find your own ideas! Questions to encourage listening and describing music: 1. Do different sized containers make different sounds with the same objects? 2. Describe how the sound changes depending on the contents. 3. Can you shake it loudly? Quietly? Fast? Slow? 4. What happens if you put a mixture of different objects inside the container? 5. Play a game by putting different objects inside without the student seeing it, shake it, and have them guess what's inside! An alternative to a plastic jar: Use an empty cardboard tube such as a toilet paper, wrapping paper, or paper towel tube. Tape, staple, or glue (hot glue with adult help) the ends together. |
