Paper Music

In EY Thinking Games (P4C) club today, we thought about all the different ways we could make music from sheets of newspaper. We got into small groups and discussed our composition, working together to ensure the effects we chose worked in harmony with one another. 


We tore, crumpled, shredded, blew and flapped our paper to make different musical effects. Before performing, we announced the title of our composition, including "Rustling Leaves on a Windy Day" and "Icy Ice Skating" among others.

Children really enjoyed taking part in the club and were able to work on their skills of co-operation and develop their musical intelligence, a (perhaps) uniquely human gift.

But what do you think...

Do you agree that musical intelligence is uniquely human?
