Previous Work

Science of Sound Project

Between December 2007 to February 2008, two local primary schools have taken part in an exciting cross-curricular project about the ‘Science of Sound’. Using the resources of Town Hall and Symphony Hall, the ‘Science of Sound Project’ has explored how sound is made, how it travels and how we hear.

Children from Moor Green Primary School and Nelson Primary School began the project with a visit to both venues. Organ Animateur Daniel Moult introduced the children to how sound is made using the Symphony Hall Pipe Organ and demonstration pipes. The many acoustic features at Symphony Hall were then introduced to reveal how they alter the way that sound travels around the auditorium. Carlos Munoz Villalobos from Caliche then introduced the children to South American Music and explored how the pan-pipes are similar to the Pipe Organ.

Following the visit to Town Hall and Symphony Hall, workshops were held in each of the schools where the children explored the topic further. Over the 6 weeks of workshops the children have explored Music, Science, Maths and Design Technology – from tuning instruments, analysing sound waves to making pan-pipes.

The project concluded with an open workshop at Symphony Hall where the children performed the musical pieces to family and friends.

Over the next couple of months, resources linked to this project will be available to download from this website…watch this space!

Many thanks to everyone involved.

Phase 2 of this project will be taking place in September 2008, if you would like more information about this project please email education@thsh.co.uk.
