Make Music!
Make musical instruments and make music with this handy guide! Crafty and musical parents will enjoy the creative ideas, but so will the parent who struggles with coming up with ideas. I found the concepts interesting. You learn about holding your hands differently when you clap results in different tones, or placing your tongue differently in your mouth creates different volumes of sound. Some activities ask for imagination! How would a lion sing a familiar song versus a mouse? From kitchen pots & pans to shakers of all kinds, this is not just a noise-making book. Who needs that?? The musical concepts are well presented and kid-friendly, and cheap too! This is unplugged play at its finest! ~Sara
Music is for everyone — no prior experience required! Make Music! invites kids and families to celebrate the joy of sound with a variety of inventive activities, including playing dandelion trumpets, conducting percussion conversations, and composing their own pieces.
Musician and educator Norma Jean Haynes brings the pioneering work of Ann Sayre Wiseman and John Langstaff to a new generation of kids aged 5 and up, focusing on the playfulness, spontaneity, and creativity of music. Kids explore rhythm with clapping, body drumming, and intonations. They learn to create found sound with kitchen pots and pans, the Sunday paper, or even the Velcro on their sneakers. And step-by-step instructions show how to make 35 different instruments, from chimes and bucket drums to a comb kazoo and a milk carton guitar.
