Making of local instrument

You can sound the trumpets, bang the drums and strike up the band. It is possible to make musical instruments using recycled materials. There are mental and physical benefits associated with playing and listening to music.

Examples of musical instrument that can be produced at home.

1. Guitar:-  To make a guitar, simply stretch several large elastic bands around a cardboard box.

We chose a box with an open top, but a tissue box with a hole in the center, works well, too.

Choose elastic bands that vary in width to ensure that all of your “guitar strings” will produce different tones and sounds when they’re plucked by little fingers.

2. Drum:- For drums, we used a plastic ice cream container with a lid. Using a hole punch, make four holes in the container: one on each side of the container itself (just below where the lid sits) and one on each side of the lid. With the lid off, but positioned close to the top of the container, simply thread a long length of wide ribbon (we used first aid gauze) through the holes. Snap the lid in place, and knot the ends of your ribbon. Add a couple of chopstick drumsticks or sticks for a booming good time.

Behavioural objectives: At the end of the lesson, pupils should be able to:-

1. Make a native gong

Instructional  material: Wood, pictures, charts and textbook

Reference material: Longman Basic Science and Technology for Primary Schools UBE edition by P. Asun

Content 

Making a gong

Gongs are constructed of hammered metal. Most are made out of wood, bronze or brass, but with an amalgam of other metals. Although a lot of gongs are made in China, they are not mass produced like televisions or plastic toys. Each one is handmade.

Gongs serve  dual purpose of being a musical instrument and a work of visual art. They are generally not disc shaped, but instead take more complex, even abstract forms.

Materials needed for making a gong includes:

1. A disposable metal turkey roasting pan
2. A large cake pan or a pie tin. 

Remember, the larger your gong, the better the sound. To hang your gong, get a cardboard tube from a roll of wrapping paper, a long straight stick or a broomstick. Your stand can be made from two chairs. To put your instrument together, you can use pipecleaners, yarn or colorful string.

Procedure for making gonf

Assembling the gong is simple. Just poke two holes in your metal pan several inches apart and thread a pipecleaner through each one. Twist the pipecleaner into a circle and the metal pan will hang perfectly on the stick or cardboard tube. If you’re using yarn, use as much as you need to hang your gong to the length that you desire.

Then you can decorate! Textured fabric paint will adhere to metal pans to make a nice design – just let it dry before touching. You can add puffy stickers, scraps of felt, glue string or any other tactile crafts you can think of. Decorate your gong with a Chinese theme, like the dragon for the year of the dragon
