Sound+Stories

Students in Seventh Grade Music recently worked with rhythm instruments. We discussed how important music and sounds are in the production of movies, TV shows, stories, etc. Students were given the task of creating a very short "story" and selecting rhythm instruments to use as "background music". These instruments were mostly used as sound effects, such as the rainstick for rain and a woodblock for hammering. Students were graded on the content of their story, the selection of their instruments, how well the instruments matched the wording it was placed with, and the performance of their story. Click on the name of the story below to hear the story. The sound clips range from about 30-50 seconds per story.
