A cross-curricular and multi-sensory session is coming your way! In this “magic” lesson, students will learn about the various instruments of the flute family, will engage in a discussion about sound, acoustics, as well as how various sounds affect mood, and will examine the links between imagination and emotion. Then, students will be guided in creating a narrative where each instrument and its sound takes a role. The takeaway? This activity incorporates music, social-emotional learning, and the spoken word. When studying sound, a dash of math and science will be thrown in.
