In our first session, we will be learning how to make a DIY guitar, to learn about sound frequencies, vibrations, and waves in relation to music. This guitar can be "played" and is fully functioning in the way that pulling different combinations of strings produces different sounds. The recommended age group for this project is 5-10 years old, although all ages are welcome.
Materials Needed:
- small cardboard box
- 4 to 6 rubber bands *make sure these fit around the box* - 2 popsicle sticks or a pencil - tape - scissors - paper towel roll (optional) - glue (optional) How to
Step 1, cut a circle out from one side of the box. This circle doesn't need to be a specific size, small and big cutouts will both work.
Step 2, stretch out your rubber bands over the box. Step 3, place two popsicle sticks or a pencil under the rubber bands on one side of the box. Step 4, (optional) glue or tape the paper towel roll onto the top of the box. Step 5, play your guitar till your heart's content! The Lesson
Throughout the process of making this guitar in our free live session, we will be describing the basics topics of frequency, vibrations, and waves. The kids would learn what each of these topics are, the basic ideas of each, and how they relate to music, and more specifically, their guitar. This practical application ensures that they would remember what they've learned, and push them to combine creativity with their critical thinking. You can find our explanations in the presentation below!
