At the start of the day we had a class and learned about timbre, pitch, and volume. We got to build an instrument—first we blew into a mouthpiece, then we added a plastic tube, and then a cone at the end.
We had time to explore all of the floors of Studio Bell. They were lots of exhibits. Some of our favourites were: -Playing instruments -The Kimball Theatre Organ—it took up a whole room! -Sound mixing -Music from different artists through the decades -The screen where we moved our hand to make notes -Headphones where we got to listen to different types of music like throat singing! -The dance floor and screen -The instrument room We also got to make “sound sandwiches”—kazoos made of popsicles and elastics. In our last workshop we got to explore more instruments like the double bass, guitars, violin, Theremin, electric drum pad, voice changing microphone, tubla, and a bunch of other cool instruments that we don’t know the name of!
