Hey WES! This week, we are asking you to create your own instrument! Use the videos below as a guide or to get some ideas before you go crazy and think up your own fabulous creations! Keep in mind, these are only a FEW of the possibilities. Create something you can practice and play on, and then write a composition you can perform!
When you're done, post a video or photo of what you've created as a comment to this blog post, on your class's Facebook page, or in an email to Mrs. Braunagel or Ms. Arnold. We can't wait to see what you make!
