Beats & Beyond

Today for our new hurumanu we are doing "Music" and I am pretty sure that this is going to be the best hurumanu we have ever done, Mr Mitchell and Mrs Hastie are in charge of this hurumanu and Mr Mitchell has shown us a few guitars and played a few songs for us. After showing us a few parts of different guitars we also learned something, we made a glossary and listed a few things we learnt. Here are some parts of the guitars and what they do.

Glossary

Tuning pegs - Puts tension on the string to tune them.
Sound Hole - Hole in a guitar where the sound comes from.
Nylon String guitar-A guitar with nylon strings.
Steek String guitar-A guitar with steel strings
Whammy bar-Bar on an electric guitar that changes the tune.
Capo-Holds down all 6 strings at the same time.
Dreadnaught guitar-A guitar with a big body surface.
Backpackers guitar-A guitar with a small body surface.
Amp-Plugs into the electric guitars and the amp is part of a sound hole for the electric guitar.

We learned all of these things and most of them I did not know about, but now I know all these. This is a new experience and I know it will be the best experience I will have. I will enjoy this hurumanu because we will also be writing our own lyrics and make our own song which I can't wait to do. Here are a few photos of us learning about this Music Hurumanu...
