Testimonial

Having the opportunity to work with AFLCT has been truly beneficial; they've provided unique experiences that have positively impacted our students. Their professional artists are strong role-models who encouraged students to take risks, find their voices, and be confident young people. They assisted in the process of inspiring our students to discover their individual identities and be able to self-assuredly express and share their ideas and opinions.

Description

In this STEM focused workshop, students will learn how instruments make sounds, the similarities between science and music, and build a musical instrument from recycled material (wind, string or percussions instrument).

Objectives

1. Articulate how instruments make sound (vibration)
2. Find similarities between music and science (frequency = pitch, decibels = loudness...)
3. Learn how to make a musical instrument using STEM (design the instrument on paper, determine parts needed, write out step by step instructions prior to building the instrument.)
