Students Make Instruments.

Stinson, Christine, Comp.

Teaching Music, v4 n2 p40-42 Oct 1996

Recommends elementary school projects where children design and make their own musical instruments. Maintains that this familiarizes students with the family of instruments and how they produce sound. The built instruments can be as simple as a washtub bass or as complex as an electronic synthesizer. (MJP)
