Music  with  

Ms. Huff 

Can you make your own instrument using household items? Below are a few videos on how to make a drum, membranophone, and a shaker. How to make a drum * Ms. Huff used duct tape instead of packing tape and a can of beans for the shell of the drum. How to make a membranophone ● What you need: Clean, empty plastic water bottle (any size bottles with ridges work best),

scissors, glove (latex, rubber, or vinyl or a balloon, although it’s harder to work with); rubber band; hole punch; drinking straw; sheet of construction paper or card stock.

Here are the steps: 1. Leave the cap on the bottle, but peel the label off. 2. Cut the bottle in half using scissors (or a utility knife, if an adult is doing this). Make sure you

cut evenly, leaving a smooth edge. Set aside the bottom half of the bottle for another use, or recycle it.

3. Take the top half of the bottle, and use your hole punch to punch a hole as far from the cut edge as you can towards the mouth of the bottle. Put the straw through the hole to test it for size. It should be a tight fit. If the hole isn’t large enough for the diameter of the straw, repunch in nearly the same spot to widen the hole a bit.

4. Cut the fingers and thumb off the glove as a unit (in one cut). The rest of the glove should now look like a wide tube. Cut the tube open to form a rectangular sheet of pliable material—this is your membrane.

5. Stretch the membrane over the opening you cut on the bottle, making sure that the hole you punched in the side doesn’t get hidden by excess material. If you are using a balloon, cut off the narrowest part to make a large enough surface to stretch over the opening you cut on the bottle.

6. Secure the membrane to the bottle with a rubber band. Wrap the rubber band around the bottle several times, making sure that the membrane is taut.

7. Twist the cap off the bottle and set it aside. 8. Roll a piece of construction paper into a tube, making it as tight and straight as possible. Put

the rolled-up tube into the neck of the bottle, where the cap had been. Let go of the paper tube when it barely touches the bottom of the membrane. It should fit securely in the bottle opening. Tape it to the neck of the bottle so it stays in place.

9. Re-insert the straw into the punched hole on the side of the bottle, and you’re ready to play! (Click to enlarge the diagram below.)

How to make a shaker Remember to ask your parents for help!

Please share a video or picture of the instruments that you make. Can you use your new instrument to play along with your favorite song? Can you use them to make a funny video? Please let Ms. Huff know how your process went. Send me an email at janae.huff@smyrna.k12.de.us

Learning with Mrs. Hendricks, 

Mrs. Mathes & Ms. Weeks 

Stuck at home can make us all go stir-crazy! Routine is what we all need! Check out the examples of 

COVID-19 Daily Schedules below. This is an approach to the “new normal” of using our home where 

our parents/guardians need to work, you need to learn, play, and live. The schedule emphasizes 

sticking to activities that keep us disciplined, such as getting dressed and making our beds, instead 

of giving up on these areas. It is just like going to school except you are commuting from your 

bedroom to your kitchen, living room, or office. 

The blocks of time help us figure out how to work in new tasks that we may not have had enough 

time for in school before. Think of this time as an opportunity to enjoy more quality time with your 

family! Remember, We Are All In This Together!
