For the second day of Music Hurumanu, Ts and Mt started off with one of our teaches Mr Mitchell showing us some of his guitars. He also played a tune on each of them. He played all the guitars and told us about how different in the sound. He also told us the types of guitars and what they are used for.
➥Subject: Music | Beats And Beyond
Today, Mr Mitchell brought in different types of Guitars:
➥ Nylon String Guitar
➥ Steel String Guitar
➥ Dreadnaught Guitar
➥ Backpackers Guitar
➥ Electric Guitar.
We then had to do our Glossary. There were different words including, Sound Hole, Capo, Whammy Bar etc. For our glossary, we had to find the meanings for a bunch of items for guitars. Here are a few of our glossary words.
➥Whammy Bar- The Whammy bar is a bar on an electric guitar that quickly changes string tension.
➥Capo- The Capo is used to hold down all 6 of the strings at the same time.
➥Sound Hole- The Sound Hole is a hole in the body of a guitar where the sound comes from.
After Mr Mitchell's "performance" instead of calling this class 'Music' we used Taylor's idea and name this class 'Beats and Beyond.
We then had to make a title page for our books. We also got to draw to make it look "amazing"!
