Creative Makers Project: 'The Harmony of Difference' with Mapledown School
This page is a PRIVATE page intended for project participants & partners only.
Session 1 - 'sounds'
The main objective of this session was to engage students with sounds made with ordinary objects and more conventional percussion instruments.
The students chose the following objects/instruments to make sounds with:
 Joncy: Pom Pom |  Brooke: BubbleWrap |  Charlotte: Tin Plate |
|---|---|---|
 Yuta: Spring |  Gabriel: Chain / Pot |  Max: Tube |
 Dudi: Paper |  Gregor: Rice |  Joncy: Xylophone |
 Brooke: Tambourine |  Charlotte: Castanets |  Yuta: Bells |
 Gabriel: Bells |  Max: Maracas |  Dudi: Rain Stick |
 Gregor: Tambourine |
Session 2 - 'textures'
The main objective of this session was to engage students with making print images that we can convert into sound. Print making is messy and fun - the link between pattern and sound/music is hopefully made.
The students made the following prints:
Max
Joncy
Charlotte
Brooke
Yuta
Gregor
Dudi
Gabriel
Session 3 - 'patterns'
The main objective of this session was to engage students with making patterns that can be converted into music. Dabbing on a grid is similar to adding notes to a manuscript; punching holes in music box cards help to develop fine motor skills.
Here are some pictures of work in progress:

Session 4 - 'playing'
The main objective of this session was to engage students with playing/initiating sound. Pupils played the Talking Tiles in place of guitar for our welcome-song, then used the tiles to collect recordings of themselves playing the outside instruments.
Here are some pictures of pupils playing and recording the outside instruments:
Xylophone
Listening
Tubular Bells
