Class Activities
- Listen to instrument recordings (common and non) and identify based on sound.
- Compare sound of instrument timbres based on materials.
- Discuss instrumental wave vibrations.
- Observe instrument harmonics (on spectrogram/oscilloscope) based on type, material, playing mechanism.
- Discussion of SH system: compare and contrast various instruments and discuss instruments with ambiguous/multiple categorizations (i.e. voice, loudspeakers).
Assignments
- Instrument classification worksheet
- Create-your-own instrument activity based on assigned material and SH system category
