A glass piano!

As part of Germany week, I thought we would celebrate some fantastic German composers like Bach and Brahms and make our own glass piano.

This was so simple to do – we used five glasses, filled them with graded amounts of water (aiming for roughly the same increment between each glass), coloured them just for fun and then listened to the sound with a wooden beater.

Both my boys thought this was excellent. My preschooler made some pretty good tunes, and loved beating between two glasses very quickly. My toddler thought this was fantastic fun, and couldn’t believe he was being allowed to hit a glass filled with water with a stick!
