SLJ Step It Up: Found Sound

Today, I completed a task in which I created a rhythm with the instruments that I found in my house.

First, I used the butter knife and fork as drum sticks and the other items as drums.

Second, I thought of a rhythm and practised it over and over again so I can remember it. 

Next, I used my webcam on my chromebook to record myself playing my music.

Lastly, I changed the permission setting of the screencastify to anyone with link. 

I thought this task was so cool because I got to be creative by making my own drum.

I learnt that soundscapes are a collection of sounds and they are another form of storytelling.

An interesting fact is that ryhthm is a strong, regular repeated pattern of movement or sound.

I liked doing this Summer Learning Journey task because while I was recording it felt like I was in a concert.

  1. Hi Sahil,

    Ruby here again, a volunteer commenter from SLJ.

    Great stuff with this project. Again, I have to say how impressed I am by your writing and how clear you are with presenting your ideas in an interesting and logical way.

    The chip packet works really well as a drum I think. It would be so cool to hook a contact microphone up to your musical set up to record and amplify the sounds.

    I'll also say it seems like you have good rhythm, as well as a good intellectual grasp of the meaning of what it is!

    Keep up the great mahi,

    Ruby

  2. Kia Ora Sahil,

    My name is Zana and I am a blog commenter from the summer learning journey.

    I am impressed with how well you introduce and explain each activity, providing a step by step run through of what you are doing. It is great to read and adds a deeper level of understanding behind each post.

    I think your beat is great and your drumming is incredible! Have you played an instrument before?

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

    Ngā mihi nui,
