Do you play a musical instrument?  Do you sing?  Each instrument (and voice) produces a unique sound that can usually be differentiated from one another.  For example, the sound of a bassoon is very different from a flute, which is very different from a violin.  This is partly due to how high or low a sound is (pitch), but also the sound quality (timbre) and other factors.

In this JAM, you will learn what sound is at the most basic level.  With this foundational understanding, we will explore the different ways in which sound can be produced and why these variations result in the huge varieties of sounds we encounter in our everyday lives.

PLEASE NOTE:

  • We require a 24 hour cancellation notice for Little Explorers Club and JAM Sessions reservations via emailing info@visitthemap.org. Please include the name on the reservation, number of students, date and time of the class.

  • Please help create an outstanding learning environment by limiting disruptions in the classroom! 

  • Parents are, of course, always welcome to remain in class but should a parent choose to step out, we have provided a seating area just outside the classrooms. Parents and siblings are also welcome to explore our Discovery Room or the rest of the Museum until the class concludes.
