Instruments

I taught a lesson on opposites and instruments to Lilly and 2 of her friends.  We talked about high notes and low notes, fast music and slow music, happy songs and sad songs, etc.  Then, we made instruments.  We made "horns" by poking holes in a paper towel tube and then applying a piece of wax paper to one end with a rubber band.  The kids hummed into the open end and were able to create different sounds depending on which holes they covered.

Also, we made "guitars" by putting rubber bands around shoe boxes.  The children had a great time creating and playing the instruments.  I decided it would be a good idea (and fun) to make a music video.  We did 3 - each child got to pick a song.  Here is the one of "Jesus Loves Me" which Lilly picked.
