We offer an age-appropriate interactive session that can be delivered in-person in the school or online, titled “The World of Musical Instruments – The Science, Stories and Stars”.
The World of Musical Instruments
The Science, Stories and the Stars
Abstract
Human beings, like our feathered brethren, are a musical species.
We use sound not only as a means of communication, but to create beauty as an end in itself.
The creative power of the human spirit is best exemplified in the world of musical instruments, which lies at the intersection of art and science.
In this session the curatorial team of the Indian Music Experience Museum explores three distinct facets of musical instruments: the science of sound production
and the classification of musical instruments; the stories of how instruments have evolved over time in response to a variety of factors; a case study and live demonstration on instrument innovation; and the special relationship that stalwarts of music share with their instruments.
The presentation gives insight into some of the most unique objects at the IME, including the installations from the Sound Garden, the collection at the Instruments Gallery, and the precious artifacts from the Hall of Fame.
This session can be delivered online or in-school (onsite).
