Students were first introduced to the MaKey MaKey kit in music through the water piano. There were 8 different colored cups filled with water each representing 1 note of a C Major scale. When students held the grounding wire and touched their finger to the water it would play that note.
The C Major Scale
After students experimented making sound on the water piano they tried performing songs using our "cup notation" on the SMART Board. One large cup was equal to 1 quarter note and two small cups were equal to 2 eighth notes.
Students were in charge of 2 colored cups and when they saw their cup in the song they had to play their cup.
