IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

Today was Drum Day in our room at the Lab School! We were painting drums, making drums, inquirying about drums, and using drums!

Our day began by adding water colors to our painting of our observational drawings of instruments. Then, during morning meeting, we each asked a question about music. Many questions inquired about how to make or build certain instruments, mostly drums.

During studio time today, our Butler Teachers helped us make instruments. We all got to make our own drums out of plastic cups, beans, balloons and rubber bands. They were a big hit!

Martavious counts the beans that go inside of his drum.

At the end of the day, we used our drums to create different rhythmic patterns. It was exciting to see the musical inclinations of our students!

Aaliyah, Chloe, and Jamaria work with Ms. Schrock to make their drums.

I’m excited to see where our music project takes us. I forsee further drum exploration in our future!
