It was so fun using our slide whistles today in music class! This fun instrument uses a metal slider to create "sliding" notes! Our whistles cover one full octave of notes in the key of B flat. We had so much fun singing songs and doing activities with our whistles including:
-"Elevator and Escalator" (Children made their bodies move up and down as they moved the slide whistle in and out)
-"Five Green And Speckled Frogs" (Children made the slide whistle go down in pitch to signify the frog jumping in to the pond)
-School age children experimented with slide whistle sounds and we graphed the results through a line graph, which we then related to a sound wave!
Check out the pictures and video below of our fun day!
