Sound Studio
Sheldon Sound Studio emphasizes the science, art and technology of sound and challenges middle school students to create their own sound art that communicates a message. Students will experiment with technology by incorporating a contact microphone in their sound art.
Participating classrooms will receive six interactive lesson plans and instructional videos as well as 15 contact microphones, a guitar cable and a mini amplifier to use in their final sound art project. Additional materials may be purchased.
The Sheldon Sound Studio curriculum correlates to science and art Missouri Learning Standards for grades 6-8 and features instruction from local educators and artists including Syrhea Conaway, Jacob Lewis, Kareem Deanes and featured sound artist Brett Williams.
