The Dallas Symphony Orchestra has some really fun things on their page. Check out the instruments in the orchestra under the "Listen and Learn" tab. I think my favorite thing on this page is a whole section on making your own instruments! You can find it under the "Activities" tab. Have fun!

Here's a couple to start you off, but I'll be back with more!

• Create an instrument using materials found around your home. You can get some good ideas at the Dallas Symphony Orchestra's website for kids: Make Your Own Instrument

• Listen to the music during TV shows and video games. Do you notice how often it changes? Does the style of music change often? How does the music impact the way you feel while watching?

• Sing in the shower (seriously, it sounds great in there!) :~)

• Musical Scavenger Hunt: Music is everywhere! Find something that…

• Makes a HIGH PITCHED sound

• Makes a LOW PITCHED sound

• Makes LOUD sounds

• Makes SOFT sounds

• Moves FAST

• Moves SLOW

• You can SHAKE to make a sound

• You can SCRAPE or RUB to make a sound

• You can tap that is made out of METAL

• You can tap that is made out of WOOD

BONUS: Make up a song using a ‘found instrument’ from your house. I'd love to hear about what you found! Feel free to share with me on email or google docs!
