Take a Deep Breath! Music Blocks
-
- Education for Kids
Musicians who use the power of air breathe life into the music they play. They create beautiful and ear-catching melodies. The instruments they play are called aerophones. In this episode, we talk about aerophones and the musicians like Astor Piazzolla, Harry Styles and Francis Bebey who use these instruments to create gorgeous notes and melodies.
Stuff to think about after you’ve listened:
Which aerophone do you want to play? What aerophone sound appealed to you?
What aerophone would you use to write a melody?
Ready to explore more melodious aerophones? Check out our playlists on Spotify or Apple Music.
