Click on the inks down below and watch the 2 videos and complete my assignment. please read instructions thoroughly.

Instructions: watch two of the videos, on different instruments, on How Instruments Are Made, and complete the writing activities summarizing what you learned.

Questions for Consideration:

Were you surprised by how the instruments you chose were made, or was the process what you imagined it to be?

Was the process of making the instruments you chose more automated, mechanized, or did it involve hand crafting?

Does learning about the construction process for an instrument explain the value of the instrument?

Length: 1 – 2 paragraphs per instrument. Always strive to meet and exceed the standards for good writing. Write in complete sentences, and well-organized paragraphs. Provide supporting details. Consider the rubric that will be used to grade your writing.

Slobin-Titon’s article discusses some of the core concepts of this course as well as outlines some of the methodologies we will use in this class. In other words, the readings assigned for next week will provide the framework for our discussions, journal entries, midterm, and final projects. Keep this in mind because you might need to reference them down the line.

For your discussion threads, I want you to center your attention around the following questions:

According to the article, is music a “universal language”?

How do the authors define culture and what role does music play in it?

What are some elements that allow us to study music, not as a descriptive object (the study of pitch, meter, etc.) but as a social phenomenon?

Finally, was the way you think about music challenged in any way? Did you learn something new about it?
