Philharmonic Flutes . . . An Exciting Primary Activity

 

Ear plugs will not be needed for this activity!

 

Children learn how sound is produced and how pitch is changed. Working with a variety of materials, pupils have a fantastic time learning about fabrication and exploring the versatility of wind instruments. Using PVC materials pupil’s make a slide flute that will change pitch to play several notes.
