musicfun

If you don't have any music appropriate for Cinco de Mayo, you might find some on the radio, on-line (just don't get into trouble by downloading music that you shouldn't) or at a local library. Listen and make up your own dances. Have fun!

Experiment with Noises!

Hit blocks together. Blow air across the top of a bottle. Run your wet finger around the top of a glass with some water in it. Change the amount of water and listen to the difference in the sound it makes. Use a cardboard tube as a horn. Add a funnel to the end of it--just for fun. Play with a wind chime. Wrap waxed paper around a comb and hum through it. Clack spoons together in time to music. Shake keys to music. Put dried beans in a jar with a lid and make your own instrument. Blow a whistle. Beat a rhythm on an empty oatmeal box.

Learn to play simple instruments. Play a kazoo, a slide whistle, a tom tom, a harmonica. If available try playing a piano or other keyboard, a stringed instrument, brass or wind instrument.

Sing, whistle, chant, make sounds with your voice!

Listen to all types of music. Attend musical events and watch and listen to the musicians.
