Music is Everywhere (Found Sound)

Introduction

Music plays a big role in our life. Can you think of a day without it? We hear music everywhere: in the street, in shops, in parks, in the elevator and at home. Music follows us from childhood and we can't live without it. We listen to music when we are happy or sad, we dance to it and we learn to play music, too.

Music is not only a combination of sounds, it is art. There are many kinds of music from all over the world: classical music, jazz, popular music or pop-music, rock and soul, R & B etc. They are all different, but still people listen to them and enjoy. Music reflects our life, our feelings and emotions.

We might say that music is what feelings sound like. 

Task

In this web quest you are going to look for music wherever you are. It could be what we call found sound, it could be music you hear in the car, walking on the street... Wherever you are whatever you are doing. Music can be found (made) using everyday objects around your house. You can make music using things in your kitchen, your yard etc...

 

Process

Your task is to find as many non musical objects that you think will make some kind of unique sound that can be applied to making music. some examples (silverware, a bucket, a hose, a box) use your imagination and be creative, have fun with this. You will be surprised at what you will come up with. 

As you find things that you think will work, make a list on the next page. If you are able to, record the sound of some of the different objects you found and submit to the classroom page for this assignment.
