Music – Homemade Instruments Pan Flute Tape Together Different Sized Music – Homemade Instruments Pan Flute Tape together different sized straws and blow in to them at an angle to create a whistling sound! Xylophone Fill glasses with different amounts of water and gently tap the rim with a spoon to make different ringing sounds – can you create a tune? Be very careful not to break the glass! Drums You can create a drum from almost any item! Try using empty tin cans, covering the top with an unused balloon and secure the balloon with an elastic band (see the picture). All you need is a wooden item to tap them with. If you don’t have these items you could try using upside down pots and pans or even tapping a table top can create a drum sound! Digeridoo You can make an Australian digeridoo out of tubes of toilet roll or kitchen roll stuck together and blowing/making sounds in to the top. You could even decorate your digeridoo with aboriginal symbols! Tambourine You can make a tambourine at home using a paper plate, some wool or string and jingle bells (there may be some left over from Christmas wrapping or chocolates!). Create holes around the edges of the paper plate with a hole punch and thread the wool/string through, adding jingle bells in place as you go (see picture). Finish your instrument by drawing designs on it with pencils or markers! Rainstick You can make a rainstick using toilet roll or kitchen roll tubes stuck together. Seal off one edge using sellotape or cover with paper and an elastic band to secure. Fill with grains of rice or small pasta pieces then seal the other side. Decorate by covering in coloured paper or drawing patterns and tie ribbon or paper to both ends. Now shake your stick back and forth and it should sound like a rain storm! Banjo You can create a banjo by sticking or stapling two paper plates together, decorate them as you wish, then gather three different sized elastic bands and wrap around the plates. Glue a flat piece of wood or thick card to the back to hold. Find further instructions at: https://www.learningliftoff.com/make-homemade-music-with-these-6- diy-instruments/ .

  • Tuning and Intervals
    CHAPTER 4 Tuning and Intervals Sitting on the riverbank, Pan noticed the bed of reeds was swaying in the wind, making a mournful moaning sound, for the wind had broken the tops of some of the reeds. Pulling the reeds up, Pan cut them into pieces and bound them together to create a musical instrument, which he named “Syrinx”, in memory of his lost love Ovid (Roman Poet; 43 BC - AD 18/19) Have you ever watched someone tune a guitar? Or maybe even a piano? The lengths of the strings have to be adjusted by hand to exactly the right sound,bymakingthestringstighteror looser. Bue how does the tuner know which sound is the right one? This question has been asked throughout history and different cultures at different times have found different answers. Many cultures tune their instruments differently than we do. Listen for instance to the Indian instrument sarod in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hobK_8bIDvk.Also,2000yearsago,theGreekwere using different tuning ideas than we do today. Of course the Greek did not have guitars or pianos at that time, but they were still thinking about tuning for theinstrumentstheyhadandaboutthe structure of music in general. The pan flute,oneoftheoldestmusicalinstrumentsintheworld, was used by the ancient Greeks and is still being played today.Itconsistsofseveralpipesofbamboo of increasing lengths.

Duration: 10 minutes. ‘Kraftmaschine’ was commissioned by the Orff Zentrum and the ADevantgarde Festival in Munich and it was inspired by Carl Orff's approach into building musical structures out of basic rhythmical and melodic patterns. It uses a wide variety of Renaissance, Baroque and modern day recorders, bringing out their subtle differences of timbre. Due to its versatility and directness, this interesting instrumental ensemble (four recorder players & three percussion players) also encouraged me to incorporate elements from Peruvian folk music in four brief episodes that are playfully interrupted by an intrusive ratchet. In the final section, I make use of the aulos technique in which each of the four players is asked to play two recorders simultaneously in an obsessively repetitive –but nevertheless constantly shifting- group of five notes.

  • Wye---A-History-Of-The-Flute.Pdf
    A History of the Flute Trevor Wye 1. Whistles What a daunting prospect to write a simple flute history without missing anything. Looking at a pamphlet a few years ago, it stated that in the South Pacific Islands, those tiny islands south of Hawai, there are about 1300 different named flutes. Our modern flute is just one of thousands of flutes worldwide of all shapes and sizes from miniature ocarinas to giants like the Slovakian Fujara. A sensible way to begin would be to understand how flutes are made to emit sound and so we will look at the four main varieties. These are Endblown where the player blows across the end of the tube; Sideblown as in our modern flute; a Fipple or encapsulated such as is found in a referee's whistle and a Globular flute such as in ocarinas and gemshorns. In all cases, the air is directed against a sharp edge which causes the air to alternate between entering the tube where it meets resistance, then shifting to going outside the tube. This alternation takes place at great speed causing the air inside the tube or vessel to vibrate and so make a sound. In the endblown flute shown below, the tube is held upright and the air directed across the cutaway top of the tube. The fipple flute is sounded by the player directing air through a tube or windway against the sharp edge. An example is the recorder and the pitch is changed by covering the holes down the tube in succession. Globular flutes are sounded either by blowing across a hole or via the fipple which is connected to the 'globe' shown above, though the way the instrument responds is unlike the whistle; the notes can be changed by uncovering any hole, no matter in what position it is placed.
