By using inspiring, fun & practical demonstrations we explore questions such as ‘How do we hear?’, ‘How do instruments work and what are they made from?’ and ‘What are high and low sounds?’ We DEMYSTIFY the sciencey jargon!
The instruments we present have a WOW factor, drawing children to direct hands-on experiences of what goes on when a musical instrument comes alive and vibrates. Did you know you can ‘hear’ high and low sounds with your fingertips? Memorable experiences such as this are gained by exploring the themes in this workshop.
“Thank you SO much for such a full and absorbing Sound Science Workshop. There was so much food for thought and the children were entranced by your ability to play every instrument with so much skill. They loved getting so involved too and I appreciate greatly how you are able to do this throughout the day. I can’t believe how much they learnt and experienced in just one day.
They can take this musical experience on into the future.
Yes, a day was a brilliant way to fit even more in and use all your kit! Every minute was full of learning and so much fun.
We can’t thank you enough”

“We were fortunate to have the Earth Song sound of science workshop, visit our school today. It was a fabulous day, which supported our science topic of sound. The children were engaged and were encouraged to participate throughout the day.”

Sound Science 1
“We really loved the workshop, it has generated lots of creative and independent thinking. Sound is actually part of the science curriculum but is often not explored in depth.
Your workshop covered all the objectives effortlessly and gave the children (and parents) a wonderful in-depth experience. I know James loved the second session even more than the first, which just goes to show how engaging it was.
The children asked if you would be back next week…!
If I am in year 4 next year I will definitely book you again, and I will strongly recommend your workshop as it was outstanding.”
Kindest Regards,
