workshop

For the forth year, I give the workshop “sound and musical instruments” as guest teacher at IMC weekend school. This three-day course is designed for children between the ages of 10 and 12, where together with the participants we explore the physicality and different qualities of sound, and talk about why musical instruments are built the way they are. The participants are provided with a set of tools and material and are encouraged to build an instrument of their own design, which is presented at the end of the workshop.

Many thanks to the kind crew at IMC weekend school for organising these sessions, and to Stroom Den Haag for their generous support.

I hold a 3-week workshop at the IMC weekend school  for elementary students about sound and instrument design. During this workshop the participants pay a visit to the sound room at the Museon to learn some basic concepts about sound. Then in the course of two weeks together we build some simple musical instruments while learning about ways to influence pitch, color and loudness of a sound.

Special thanks to Jacinta Moons for her generous help, and the wonderful IMC crew for the photos, and for making this possible!
