Create Your Own Musical Instrument Homework.
For your homework over the next 2 weeks we would like you to create your own musical instrument.

You can create any instrument of your choice but it must be able to make 2 different sounds/pitch.
You have 2 weeks to create this. Hand in date is Wednesday 13th July.
We will then be using our instruments, in small groups, to create a simple call and repeat in class.
Stuck for inspiration? There are lots of ideas online:
