First Grade Week 1 -- How Does Sound Work?



One of the central of focuses of general music in first grade in how music actually works.

The point is to get the kids to think about music and sound scientifically and also to prepare them to learning how musical instruments can be classified both by how they produce sound and what kind of sound they make.
