Pump Up the Box! DIY Noise Box - Kids Course
Pump Up the Box!
DIY Noise Box - Kids Course
What do you get when you throw wood, coiled springs and other metallic bits together! A NOISE BOX! Not quite a 'musical instrument', it does work on the same principle as proper musical instruments and sheds light on how sound is emitted. So get ready, kids - let's make some noise!!
In this science-meets-music workshop, kids will make a uniquely constructed noise box that utilises piezoelectric pickups to capture the vibrations of metal parts attached to the wooden box and transmit these sounds to a loudspeaker. With a balance of theory and hands-on practice, this course is a fun-tastic combination of brain-body stimulation.
Students will:
- Learn about controlling the piezoelectric effect to transform everyday objects into musical elements and create rich sonic textures
- Discover how a piezoelectric pickup captures and amplifies sound in a noise box
- Understand the physical properties of sound and the principles of sound transmission
- Explore the infinite possibilities of sound design through experimentation
Register today to experience how much fun the science of sound is!
