Where is the sound coming from?

How do we hear Sound?

To provoke a reaction to this question, we played a game. The children's task was to identify which direction the sound is coming from while blindfold.









The children enjoyed this games and some were very brave, enough to hear and walk towards the sound right away, while others were hesitant and took more time to start moving their bodies around the room.









We discussed the importance of hearing as well as seeing. We connect the sounds that we hear to what we see, but when there is no visual stimulus, we focus more on the sound and are still able to identify the source.





For the next little while, we will be focusing on different folk songs, breaking them down into studying their form and their context.
