#OutsideTheOrchestra
Friday, April 3rd

We challenged two of our musicians to play along with Also Sprach Zarathustra using DIY instruments to show that anyone can make music at home, whether you have instruments or not. We absolutely LOVE what they came up with and we know you will too.

Professionals vs. DIY
Find multiple ways to make DIY instruments and music at home below and in the full activity guide here

Shaker
Check out this easy, 5-minute shaker that uses only a few simple materials you likely have around the house. This is a great instrument for babies and toddlers and older kids alike.



Hose Horn
Watch this adorable and educational video of 7 year old Elisa as she leads you through making your own hose horn, based on a ceramic horn found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. 

Balloon Trombone

This tutorial uses some slightly more complicated supplies and a drill. It's a great activity for older children to create their own instrument using a little more skill. Check it out.
Compose your own song
Compose your own music using our fun online activity and then play along with one of your new DIY instruments.
Creative Orchestra Playlist
Listen to this playlist to hear some pretty unusual instruments, like anvils and a typewriter.

Inside the Orchestra is experiencing very heavy impacts to our organization right now. If you are able to purchase a gift card or make a donation of any amount,  please know that  every penny  makes an impact.
