Later, we were also informed about our next assessment in which we had to create our instrument. We were shown two examples of how to use different material to create instruments with unique sounds. We were also provided with some guiding questions to help us analyze the sound of the instrument. We have been asked to demonstrate the application of our skill by playing it in the class. All of us are really enjoying the assessment and finding the unit very interesting. By:Aiyana Nagrare MYP 2A |
