Direction: Create an improvised musical instrument out of recyclable
materials that look and sound similar to the musical instruments
discussed. The class will spare in two groups but individual output. Each
group must consist at least 2 classifications of musical instruments.
Show and play them in any songs that you have learned. Draw first your
simple improvise musical instruments in the two boxes with
classification. Please see the attach rubrics below for assessing your
output. Let’s begin.
Note: The finished product must manipulate in producing a sound and
present it to the class. DISCUSS YOUR OWN STEPS BELOW in making
instruments. Please attach the picture of your output.
