ACTIVITY 1 – MAKE AND PLAY A BAGPIPE RECORDER
1.Make your own Bagpipe Recorder like the one I was playing in the video by following these instructions. There are three ways to make this project
EASY – just a garbage bag and a recorder.
MEDIUM – garbage bag and 2 recorders (1 recorder and homemade drone recorder like mine)
ADVANCED – garbage bag and 3…wait….4 recorders!!! (This is Mr. Hydo, music teacher at Murdock Elementary School).
SOME HELPFUL TIPS!!!!
STEP 2 – After making and practicing how to play your new instrument. Choose any song you already know from the recorder karate list (these are posted in the “Recorder Karate” section of the website) and record it on FlipGrid in the “Recorder Bagpipe” section.
