Recognizing High and Low Pitch

Use an environmentally-friendly way to create manipulatives for fractions! Small groups work to find fractional equivalents, which they then use to tune 1-liter bottles into pitch-perfect instruments. They must use a chart of volumes to...

High notes and low notes. Sharps and flats. Recorder players perfect their fingering with a series of music worksheets that ask them to practice identifying correct fingering patterns and connecting these patterns to the correct note on...

Students explore how pitch changes when using instruments that are plucked, blown, and hit. In this sound and pitch activity, students blow across the top of bottles that are filled with water to create sound. Students use recorders...

Students design an instrument. In this sound, vibration and pitch lesson, students learn about the characteristics of sound, vibration and pitch.  Students design a guitar using the assembled craft materials and demonstrate how they...

Young scholars identify and explain these vocabulary words: vibration, volume, pitch, particles, tuning forks, waves and matter. They explain that sound travels through gas, liquid and solid. They be

Students practice combining relative pitch and reading music. They create, read and perform music on their own as they combine music and art to the concepts of differing pitches and reading music. Each student present their creations to...

Students explore vocal anatomy. For this biology/music lesson, students first learn vocabulary associated with the voice and body. They then use straws, microphones and recorders to differentiate between high and low pitches and...

Students discover how engineers use sound energy. They participate in hands-on activities in which they discover how we know sound exists. They identify different pitches and frequencies as well.

Learners discuss meaning of pitch, listen for different sounds in classroom, hallway, and outdoors, and listen to sounds played on piano and on computer to determine high or low pitch.

Students investigate music and what causes the pitch of a sound.  In this sound properties lesson, students listen to a story about animals and the instinctual pitch they have in their voice and how musicians have that as well.  Students...
