  2. What is sound? • Sound is • A form of energy made by vibrations. • When an object vibrates it causes the air particles around it to move. • These particles bump into particles close to them and this continues until they run out of energy.

  3. Try this: • Put your finger on your neck and say “aah” as loud as you can. • Now say it as soft as you can. • You can not only hear the sound, but you can feel the vibration inside your throat.

  4. How does sound travel? • Sound travels through all forms of matter— gases, liquids and solid. • These are called the medium. • Sound cannot travel through a vacuum.

  5. What is pitch? • Pitch is how high or how low a sound is. • This is a high pitched sound. • This is a low pitched sound. • Pitch is how high or how low a sound is. • This is a high pitched sound. • This is a low pitched sound.

  6. How does sound travel? • Sound passes through the medium as longitudinal waves. • When the vibrations are fast you hear a highpitch. When they’re slow, you hear a low pitch. High Pitch Low Pitch

  7. Louder Softer How else can we change sound? • We can make it louder or softer by changing the amplitude of the height of the wave. • The higher the amplitude, the louder the sound. The lower the amplitude the softer the sound.

  8. How do musical instruments create sound? • It depends on the type of instrument. There are four types. • Woodwind • String • Percussion • Brass

  9. Clarinet Bassoon Oboe Flute Piccolo Woodwinds Instruments • Woodwinds make music by blowing on the top of the instrument or on a reed.

  10. ElectricGuitar Cello Guitar Harp Violin String Instruments • Strings make music by plucking or strumming the strings.

  11. Piano Tambourine Drum Maracas Xylophone Cymbals Percussion Instruments • Percussion instruments make music by striking, shaking or scraping them.

  12. Trombone French Horn Tuba Brass Instruments • Brass instruments make music by buzzing lips while blowing. Trumpet

  13. Did you know? • Sound travels 4 times faster through water than through air. • There is no sound in space. • Geologists use their knowledge of how sound travels through rocks to help them find oil fields.
