Choose 1 choice from each step.
STEP 1: Explore how music is made 1. Find out about 3 different instruments. Answer the following about each one - How does it sound (listen to a recording) - When and where is it most played? 2. Match the song! Look up the following types of music. Listen to a song from each type and move you body to match the mood of the music. Is it sad and slow? Happy and fast? Try finding orchestra music, choral or opera music, pop music and marching band music. STEP 2: Travel around the world of music 1. Listen to pop songs from 3 different countries besides America. How do they sound? How are they similar or different to something you hear in America? Do you like them? 2. Choose 3 music composers. Listen to a piece of music from each composer. Where are they from? When did they write the song you heard? Did you like their music? “Music, you know, is like food. You can’t tell what you like until you taste it.” -Girl Scout Handbook, 1953 STEP 3: Check out the music in your life 1. Take a poll. Ask 5 members of your family or friends what their favorite type of music is and why. Have them play or sing their favorite song. Why do they like it? 2. Go to a live musical performance, or watch one on TV. STEP 4: Make your own music 1. Make an instrument. It could be drums, musical glasses, maracas, whatever. You don’t need any special tools to make an instrument. Play a simple song or keep a basic rhythm on your instrument. 2. The words to a song are called “lyrics”. Use a tune you know and make up new words. Many lyrics rhyme. See if you can write lyrics that rhyme too. STEP 5: Perform our music 1. Using an instrument you made or your reworded song from the last step, perform for your family! 2. Teach someone else your song or to play your instrument from the previous step.
