Science Tunes Into Music

Students in Mr. Ryan Reuter’s 8th and 9th Grades Physical Science classes took a “field trip” to the Music Room to learn more about sound waves where Band and Choir Director Ms. Brenda Castillo demonstrated several music principles such as pitch, resonance, frequency, and interference.  The students also learned about the acoustics of the band room, how speakers operate, and learned about various music instruments. They also played the “vibraphone” and demonstrated transverse and longitudinal waves with hand chimes.
