In addition to a visit to the château's exhibitions, the children's group works with a mediator on a workshop based on the musical instruments provided by nature.
A multitude of musical instruments are hidden in plants! The aim of this workshop is to build your own instrument and experiment with the sounds produced by wood, plants and other elements that nature provides.
The workshop takes place in 3 stages:
- The group investigates the natural elements that can produce sound. They reflect on the first instruments they think humans made. The mediator provides data from archaeological research.
- The children can then choose which natural instrument they'd like to make, and are divided into different production workshops. They work with tools like luthiers creating their wooden instrument.
- Once they've made their instruments, the children test their sounds and try to recreate a "leaf-harmonic" orchestra.
Pedagogical objectives:
- Experiment with woodworking and learn to use DIY tools
- Discover new natural materials
- Discover and understand how to go from raw material to an instrument
