Music is all around us. It is created not only with musical instruments. It exists in the pitter-patter of the rain, songs of the birds, and in a child’s laughter. At MBIS, we decided to let students from Grades 3 to 5 make music without instruments and so had a ‘Creative Non-Instrumental Music Activity’ week, in the last week of November, wherein students chose bottles, buckets, pens, tables, pots, pans etc. and orchestrated a harmonious symphony. The creativity of the learners was enthralling and this allowed them to explore a new dimension to the music. Their interest in music was a driving factor that made this event a success.

Music is not just created through the use of instruments, but other products can be used to create sound as well. In an attempt to produce a melodious harmony using the things available at home, an activity titled ‘Creative Non-Instrumental Music Activity’, held from 29th November 2021. Where the students used buckets, drums, glass, pencils, erasers, straws, tables, plates, etc and orchestrated a symphony that was harmonious.
