Musical Explorations

Written by Heather Haupt 2 Comments

This week, we tried our hand at making some of our own musical instruments.  I think I’ve had almost as much fun playing with them as the boys have.  (Experimenting with pitch on our shoebox guitar occupied me for quite a while…)

How many ways can you play a homemade rubber band guitar?

like a mini cello…
Our vinegar bottle turned horn can really put out some interesting amplifications…
Trey had fun experimenting with sound
After watching The Music Man tonight the boys are itching to join a marching band.  If the current taste continues, we could have a trombone player and a drummer on our hands.

    I was a trombone player! 🙂
