What Is Music?

WHAT IS MUSIC?

A Bulletin Board exploring Music and Literature.



Discover music in the world around you just like John Coltrane..

Standard: MU.1.6.2 2007 Identify various vocal, instrumental, and environmental sounds.

Objective: Students will explore the sounds of the bulletin board by creating maracas, reading the sounds people, animals, and objects make, beating out a rhythm on various objects, and exploring a song.

Activity description: Students will explore the book Before John Was a Jazz Giant by Carole Boston Weatherford. Then students will create maracas using water bottles and beans and will explore the different sounds around us in the environment and write down other songs they think of on the pond. On the pole there is a drum set made from materials around the house, a rain-stick, a guitar made from a box and rubber bands, and keys to shake like a tambourine. There also is QR code that links you to a song you can create by clapping and snapping.
