music and singing

junk orchestra (from recycled materials)

Junk_Orchestra_thumbnailJunk Orchestra (from recycled materials)

Anything can become part of a junk orchestra. Gather your materials from what you might think of as rubbish - old bicycle wheels, empty tins of baked beans, toys and games you've got bored of and give them a whole new lease of life. You'll make your instruments and then with your friends compose original tunes to play inspired by world rhythms. You'll learn a lot about composition, orchestration and how to make music, whilst having a lot of fun.

 

 

Project suitable for:
ks2 (8 - 11), ks3 (11 - 14), ks4 (14 - 16), teenage, young adult
