Homemade workshops on the manufacture of percussion instruments
Drum
Together with your child, you can make a real drum or even an entire installation from items that are most often just thrown away.
You will need: Cans of coffee or canned food, the more the metal base, the better; a burst air balloon, food film, or plastic lid that fits in diameter; long pencils, tassels, or pens; Scotch tape or sturdy gum.
Creature: From the empty can, it is necessary to remove the second bottom or to make a large hole in it. Of course, you can not do this, but then the drum will sound muffled. When the first operation is completed, the food film is stretched onto the base in several layers or the remains of a balloon. The easiest option is a plastic cover that will ideally fall into place. When the working surface is stretched, it should be fixed with scotch tape or a thick rubber band. It remains only to decorate our instrument, and then, armed with pencils or pens, begin to play. By the way, if you make several such instruments and attach them to some basis, you get a real drum set.
Glockenspiel
To make a small xylophone at home is not difficult, and you will need simple materials for this.
Details: Two empty cardboard tubes - the basics of food foil or film fit perfectly; a set of wrenches of different sizes; wire, thread or gum.
Creature: To create a metallophone it is necessary to attach wrenches (father forgive me!) To the cardboard tubes with the help of threads or wires, placing them from the biggest to the smallest. When the metal parts of our xylophone are securely fastened, we take two wooden sticks and start playing music. Oh, and do not forget to decorate the metallophone!
Glasses xylophone
You can make a children's xylophone in five minutes from ordinary glass cups using ordinary water.
You will need:Transparent glass cups of the same size and height; water; food coloring or watercolor paints.
Creature: To make this tool will take five minutes of time, but the joy of the child will last much longer. In identical glasses water is poured. The level of fluid in the vessels should be different: from almost empty to almost full. Now you can tint the water with various dyes or simple watercolors. Our xylophone is ready - ask your kid to knock on the glasses with two pencils and you will see that every detail sounds different.
