Project Description
Goals
Students will be able to create a musical percussion instrument at home that either ‘shakes,’ ‘scrapes,’ or makes a high/low sound.
Students will use these instruments to create music that is inspired by their local neighborhood.
In this 15 minute video, students of all ages are presented with ideas for how they can create percussion instruments at home using household items.
Materials Needed
Either an empty coffee can or an empty jar
