Construct a two string instrument and a bow. Devise experiments to modify pitch and tone and volume. Consider the variables of materials, tension, touch and your own dexterity... all experiments measured by ear. Use the violin to describe patterns of waves in terms of amplitude and wavelength, and that waves can cause objects to move. View the sound waves on an Oscilloscope to see their amplitude and length.
Experiment with water and tuning to "see" the sound.
Designed in consultation with John Miller, Yale School of Music & the New Haven Public Schools. You can see photos and videos of schools where the Yale School of Music has enhanced the EWM violin program.
