Presentation & Performance date: TBA

This project completed individually as one of two projects to complete for the course. Students can request a classmate as their mentor (helper) as long as it’s not a reciprocal partnership.

Success Criteria:

1. I can explain the physics behind the instrument I created & identify its type (string/wind…etc).
2. I can effectively communicate how wave concepts (superposition/standing waves/resonance..etc.) can be applied to my instrument.
3. I can measure the correct quantities in my instrument and apply my knowledge of wave equations with these measurements to play the desired notes on my instrument

Task:

• Design and create a musical instrument
• Present your process and play your instrument in class
