First, present this fun "LOUD & QUIET MUSIC ACTIVITY" to your group at music time. Here's the link: "Forte & Piano Game" at Music Circle

Later, the children can make the following project to take home.

WHAT TO DO NEXT:



~ Invite the child to select an egg to make a shaker that sounds LOUD (or "FORTE") and then proceed to scoop beans or pebbles into the plastic egg.



~ Close up the "Forte egg shaker" and then cut a length of tape to fit around the plastic egg so it doesn't open when shaking and tape it shut securely.



~ Then, the child can look at the Forte label and write the "F" on the outside of the plastic egg (or adult can do so). This step is optional.

~ Next, have the child choose a different colored plastic egg to make a shaker that sounds quiet (or "piano") and proceed to scoop rice or sand into this egg. 

~ Likewise, apply tape to close it securely as done before with the "Forte egg shaker."



~Once again, the child can look at the label for "Piano" and write the "P" on his/her "Piano egg shaker." (Optional step)

~ Have fun playing egg shaker music that is "FORTE" and also "piano!"
