Prompt: We were assigned with a task to make musical interventions for the entrance hallway of Woodstock High School and Middle School. The point of making these musical interventions is to make people come down the hallway and enter the school while having something interactive along the way. If you go further down the hallway then you will find different musical interventions that you can interact with. The intervention has to be quiet during the day so they don't distract any classes. We also can't do a lot of damage to the hallway itself because then it could be unsafe to walk through.
How we are Addressing the Prompt: We made a long recorder made out of pvc pipe and the mouth of the recorder is connected to an air pump. You are supposed to play it by pumping the air pump and then air goes through the mouthpiece and makes sound. We made the recorder with an air pump so people wouldn't have to put their mouths on it and get germs from other people. Some lessons that we learned from the prototypes that we did is that it is really hard to make a DIY mouthpiece and putting holes in the recorder to make different noises. It was really hard to make the holes to make different noises because you have to space the holes really precise and the diameter of the holes and we couldn't really get it. Some next steps that we could make is making the final project look a little bit more professional because the way that we connected the mouthpiece to the air pump is just by duck tape and maybe we could use something else to connected it to make it look a little nicer. Another step that we could make to improve our designer is try to find out a way on how to make the holes work to make different sounds because we drilled holes into it but they don't work and it doesn't make different sounds. We made a recorder because we saw a youtube video on how to make one and it helped a lot on how to make it, how to make a mouthpiece, and where to put the holes and we got a better understanding on how to make a recorder.
