whimsical wednesday

we are celebrating uncommon musical instruments day for whimsical wednesday! here's a link to learn more about this day:  

https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/uncommon-instrument-awareness-day/   

let's get creative! look in the kitchen or toolbox or closets. select items you think might make music! (we define music as any sound that comes from the "uncommon" instrument in any pattern or rhythm.)  bang, shake, strum, pick at the items you have selected. play them solo or play them with a song or instrumental accompaniment. like what you hear? share your uncommon musical instruments adventure with the whimsey project! 

a grand time was had this whimsical wednesday making music on unconventional instruments! 
*from the bathroom, two hairbrushes were rubbed together, then separately with my fingers. a strumming sound was the result. 
*in the kitchen, there were several "instruments" to employ for music making:
#lots of shaking with food containers: box of macaroni, jar of pop corn, canister of oatmeal, cans of salsa, black beans, sweetened condensed milk, a bottle of vegetable oil and a box of stevia sweetener packets.
#from the refrigerator a bag of fresh cherries was shaken as was a bottle of milk, a container of bread crumbs and a bag of whole shelled walnuts.
*the craft supply shelves had me shaking containers of findings, tacks and miscellaneous supplies.
*the knife drawer offered music with the knife sharpener and a few knives. 
*the kitchen utensil drawers offered measuring spoons, whisks, tongs and scissors.
*the miscellaneous item drawer in the kitchen brought a wonderful sound from all the various keys gathered together and shaking them all at the same time.
*a homemade instrument was created by putting bottle caps and corks in an empty cocoa baking powder, replacing the lid and shaking away.
