7th and 8th Grade Students Make Their Own Instruments

The first project of the semester has been completed and the instruments look great! The unique student instruments are part of our unit on timbre, a vocabulary word referring to the distinctive tone quality of an instrument. Students followed the guidelines found in their project worksheet. Take a look at the project presentation videos below, then visit our INSTRUMENT GALLERY for more student projects.






Lesson material for this project can be found in the Memphis Symphony Orchestra Integrated Unit, Culutral Kaleidoscope on pages 24 through 31. Mr. Greene was one of the curriculum writers for the integrated unit.
