INFANT THROUGH SCHOOL AGE
Learning about the piano!
We really enjoyed taking a walking field trip to the chapel today, to view and learn about pianos. In the chapel we have an upright piano. Today we learned that there are upright pianos, and grand pianos, and these additional facts:
-Pianos have black and white keys
-Pianos have 88 keys if they are full size
-Pianos are stringed instruments that make sound when a felt hammer strikes the inside.
We got to see this neat process in action by lifting the lid of the piano and taking a look inside while the keys were being pressed. Everyone got a turn to stand on a chair and take a peek!
We also had a fun coloring sheet with some facts and a few pictures of the keys on a piano and an upright piano itself. Feel free to download it below
