ART-SCIENCE CONNECTION!
LET'S MAKE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC
Building and Understanding Musical Instruments
With Modesto Tamez
a STEAM program
Saturday, April 30th, 2016
10am-4pm
Redwood High School in Larkspur
Appropriate for all grade levels, especially k-8 educators interested in integrating science, math, music and art
Continuing education units available
Workshop Description
"Let's Make Beautiful Music" is an approach in how to teach the science of sound by designing and building simple inexpensive musical instruments and in the process to learn not only the physics of sound, but the biology, health, mathematics, culture and art of sound.
We will learn about pitch and other characteristics of sound by building many instruments which are found in an orchestra. This set of activities and narrative blend well for elementary to high school aged children and are NGSS standard friendly.
Join us for this fun hand's on integrative workshop day led by one of the most prominent teachers from the Exploratorium of San Francisco. Modesto's workshops emphasize low budget reuse of materials. Educators in all subjects at all levels can enjoy and benefit from his emphasis on making connections and having fun at the same time.

$45 for teachers, $65 for non-teachers
All materials included
