Nature is full of sounds. Outdoors in winters, we can often hear the howling of the wind, the cracking of ice and the creaking of trees weighed down by snow. We can also make the snow crunch under our boots and our stick tap against frozen ponds. What other sounds of nature can we hear and make? Find out through this family activity that encourages you to explore the tempo you can create using natural objects and the rhythms you can hear in the natural environment around you. Then put these together to create your own unique collection of sounds or music!
Continue your exploration of sounds and musical instruments through our Collection by visiting our Sound and Music themed installation, currently on display: agakhanmuseum.org/exhibitions/museum-collection-sound-and-music
