Questions to Consider:

• How does a horn make sound?
• What was the horn originally used for? (Hint: it wasn’t used to make music!)
• Kristi has a triple horn (meaning her horn has more tubing than a single or double horn). How many feet of tubing makes up her instrument? What animal is as tall as her horn?

Fun at Home!

• You can make your own horn at home! To make a typical horn, you’ll need some tubing (such as a garden hose), a funnel (which you can make from construction paper if you don’t have one), a plastic bottle, and duct tape.
• Step 1 - Wrap your tubing material in a circle the size of the french horn and tape the sides if the tubing overlaps. (If you don’t have a tube, you can use an empty paper towel roll. Your horn will end up more like a trumpet, but it is the same idea!)
• Step 2 - Attach the funnel to one end of the tubing using duct tape.
• Step 3 - Have an adult help you with this step. Cut the neck of a plastic bottle off and tape to the other end of the tubing. Make sure the width of the plastic bottle is as close as possible to the width of your tubing.
• Step 4 - Buzz into the plastic bottle “mouthpiece” and create your own music!
• BONUS - Share a video or picture of your homemade horn!
