Musical Fun From Homemade Household Items MUSICAL FUN FROM HOMEMADE HOUSEHOLD ITEMS If you got the chance to travel around the world, you’d find some unique and wonderful musical instruments made from everyday items. For instance, in the rural United States, the washboard left it’s soap and suds behind and was turned into a dynamic rhythm instrument that you can hear in Cajun music or keeping the beat in old-timey or jug band music. In Peru, a donation box used in churches to collect offerings became a little box instrument called a cajita. Simple to play, it creates great rhythms while encouraging both motor and listening skills as well! If you’d like to make and play either of these, check out these resources: All about the cajita and how to make a homemade version: http://wp.me/1gB0a Listen to a washboard, a washboard song, color a washboard online or as a pdf here: http://www.dariamusic.com/washboard.php Make your own washboard from recycled supplies: http://www.dariamusic.com/make_Washboard.php The activities here are perfect for summer camps, classrooms or homemade musical fun. I hope you explore and enjoy these simple musical instruments and have a blast with this creative, homemade musical fun! -Daria Marmaluk-Hajioannou www.dariamusic.com
