Talking About Music (timbre)
Talking about music is a skill that children need to develop as they learn more about sound and how it is made. In these two videos, we are talking in a small group and I've invited the children to speak freely without raising hands. First, we are talking about the sounds that instruments make prior to exploring a new box of interesting instruments for the first time.
In the second video, the children then chose an instrument each and we compared and contrasted the sounds in terms of timbre, its essential, distinguishing sound, choosing describing words and later suggesting similarities and differences.
