Techno Warm Down

Music

Each child chooses a found sound source e.g. a ruler, a pencil, your finger. Find three different dynamic levels – loud, medium, and soft.

A conductor raises their arms when the sound is to be played loudly, arms out in front for medium and arms down for a soft sound.

Play along to “Techno Warm Down” and let the conductor control the volume of the “found sounds.”
