Musical fun - What have you learned?

In a lively and interactive session centred around musical instruments, students have the opportunity to explore and understand the concepts of pitch and volume. Through hands-on experience with various instruments, they learn how sound is produced and the factors that influence its characteristics. The session prompts students to reflect on five key discoveries they've made regarding pitch and volume, encouraging them to think critically about the sounds they create and hear. This practical approach to learning helps to solidify their comprehension of these fundamental aspects of music and sound.

The educational journey also delves into the science of sound, prompting students to consider how sound is generated and the manner in which it travels through different mediums. Key terminology such as 'pitch' and 'vibration' is introduced, with explanations tailored to help students grasp how variations in vibrations affect the pitch of the sound produced. By engaging with the instruments and participating in discussions, students gain a deeper appreciation of the physics of sound, enriching their musical experiences and understanding.
