Did you know that straws can make music… or rather, that if you cut drinking straws into different lengths, they will make different sounds when you blow into them?
Supplies and Materials
You will need 8-16 straws, some sticky tape and a pair of scissors.
Assembly
Cut your straws into 4 or more different lengths (2 of each same length). Pull out a long strip of sticky tape and line up the straws on the sticky side, arranging them in twos from the shortest ones to the longest ones. (Make sure all the straws are LINED UP across the top.)
Secure well with more sticky tape so that the straws will not move around. Blow ACROSS the tops of the straws (open holes should be facing UP) not INTO them to get the best sound.
I wonder...
Can you play a simple melody on your pan flute?
Can you play hot cross buns?
