Hello again, students!
I hope you've been doing well, and that you remember some of those basic ideas of sound. Simply put, sound is made of vibrations moving through the air, and is processed by our ears. People around the world have created all kinds of instruments that use this science to create many kinds of sounds. These sounds come together to create music! That music paints pictures, shows feelings, and tells stories. I want you to listen to this piece of music, and think about how this music makes you feel. What does it make you think of? Watch how the conductor moves with the music. That piece of music is called "Short Ride in a Fast Machine," and it was conducted by the fantastic Marin Alsop of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. Did the music do a good job of painting that picture? Did it feel like a short ride in a fast machine? Did the conductor communicate that energy to the orchestra? Now that we're thinking musically, let's take a look at one section of instruments in that orchestra. This week, we'll be taking a look at the Woodwinds. Watch this video to learn all about the woodwinds! Feel free to try some of the crafts at home, if you have the materials! Get your parent's permission, of course! Once you're done with that video, answer the questions in the quiz below!
