Build a Band Project
What is the Build a Band Project?
In the build a band project we were tasked to create simple or complicated functioning instruments, In our group of four we created one wind instrument, one string instrument and one chime instrument. Each of the instruments needed to be able to plat a full scale and make some sort of sound. Below is our presentation including pictures and more detailed explanations written by the creators of the instruments.

What I Learned
In this group and during this project I learned that while and instrument like the flute might look easy to construct, it isn't. Dealing with a lack of resources can be challenging, especially when trying to create something where the object has to be precisely hand crafted. Truly, not having all of the perfect materials is not much of an issue once you can get to the final product, when choosing simple instruments you have less room for failure and give yourself more opportunities to succeed. Sometimes, not overwhelming yourself can be a good thing. While there is a lot that could have been done better about the flute, when it comes down to it, it worked. It could play a full scale and play on command. Overall this project taught me that simple can get you the best results.
