to
allow the discovery of the reinvented percussion instruments
of CréaSon; to
encourage students to create their own musical instruments
and their own musical parts;
to induce young people to recycling and protection of the
environment.
Suggested
pedagogical activities
Before the coming of Créason
in your school
Organize
an activity to make percussion instruments with household
objects. Ask your students to bring in class objects
which will help them create their instruments.
Here are some suggestions:
Don't hesitate to let your imagination ride and
invent your own instruments!
Material and
objects suggested
Cardboard boxes of all sizes
( details: television cardboard boxes have
a resonance comparable to the resonance of
a drum when it's closed.)
Cardboard tubes (tip: carpet sellers are
a good source of supplies!)
Chinese sticks
Bamboo stems (the ones used
to make skewers)
Keys of all kinds ( don't use your home
keys! Ask your locksmith, he probably has
some he can spare for you)
Old cauldrons and stoves
Chips boxes
All kinds of rice, beans and grains
Adhesive tape (2 cm)
Tennis ball boxes ( are many in tennis club
garbages!)
