How does it work?

Get ready to make the Singing Rod sing! Collect a little rosin on your fingers. Grip the Singing Rod tightly at the midpoint and rub the Singing Rod between your thumb and first two fingers from its midpoint to the end. It may take a bit of practice, but you won't mistake the sound when you hear it! Move your stationary hand down the Singing Rod to the quarter point to make a higher pitch!

What does it teach?

Learn where sound comes from—alternating condensations and refractions of the air surrounding the Singing Rod. Discover that Singing Rods of different lengths create different waves and frequencies. Use this fact to discuss nodes, anti-nodes and transverse standing waves. It's all in the science of sound!
