Violins - Learning about sound
Archbishop Wake CE VA Primary School
Year 5 pupils (9-10 year olds) looked
at the violin in 'Two Boys and a Girl Making Music'
and compared it to a real violin. They discussed the
design in terms of how different pitches of sound are
made. They looked at proportions such as the length
of the handle compared to the body and the positioning
of the holes and strings. Pupils then produced mixed-media
first-hand observational drawings and mounted these
on a stave.
