    You had a great musical piece at the end when you got your rhythm going. It was interesting to see the progression as you choose your musical tools. I wonder what items you could add to get some lower notes?

  2. Kia ora Amelia!

    It’s Charlotte here from the SLJ commenting team!

    Awesome mahi here, Amelia! I love your range of musical instruments here! Who knew the contents of a kitchen could be useful for things other than cooking with!

    I loved the song you created. Isn’t it crazy how the metal fork can make one sound against one mug, and make a completely different sound against another mug? What other materials do you think might make a good musical sound?

    Try and embed your videos into your blog. It makes it more eye catching for all of your readers!

    Ka pai, Amelia!

    Ngā mihi nui,
    Charlotte :)

    It is me Quein again, a blog commenter for the Manaiakalani Summer Learning Journey. Thank you for sharing your mahi with your fellow bloggers and me. I think you were very creative in trying out different tools to make music. I really enjoyed the musical performance, you had a very good beat and rhythm going- Well Done!!!

    Do you enjoy playing instruments? I used to play the drums when I was younger and I really enjoyed listening to the beats and rhythms.

    Keep up the Super work and I hope to see more of your posts during the Summer Learning Journey!!

    Ngā mihi,
    Quein

  4. Kia ora Amelia,

    Ruby here, a volunteer from SLJ. Cool you're exploring this stuff and I like your descriptions of the different tones and pitches. I love hearing people describe sounds and music.

    There is actually a whole genre of music call 'Musique Concrete' that you might be interested in, where people make music out of entirely natural sounds without using 'typical' instruments.

    Keep exploring and being interested in sounds and putting yourself out there - awesome stuff.

    Merry Christmas!
    Ruby

    1. Hello Maria, Charlotte, Quein and Ruby! Thankyou all for your comments!

      Maria I think that maybe wood and some times of plastic and metal would make lower notes :) Maybe glass would sound good too Charlotte! I do like music but in the past I haven't had the patience to learn an instrument! Maybe I could make my own? That sounds interesting Ruby!

      Thankyou all for your comments and have a Merry Christmas!
