WRENCH XYLOPHONES!
This week in music class, students discovered different types of xylophones! We looked at small metal xylophones with rainbow-colored keys, a xylophone made of colorful metal tubes, and a wooden xylophone! As our final project, we assembled a xylophone made of metal wrenches!
The wrenches were arranged in size from large to small and balanced on a xylophone frame with rubber pieces to help them stabilize while they vibrated. We played them by using a mallot and it was interesting to hear their different pitches! The kids enjoyed moving them around and talking about the other uses for wrenches.
Check out the extender questions below to refresh your child's memory on what they learned this week! =)
