Cold Weather Instruments: 5th & 6th Grade Winter Music Sub Plan (No Prep)

Why does a band sound out of tune at an outdoor winter parade? Students read how cold weather can change the pitch of band instruments and how players protect their instruments in the cold, then help the Winter Parade Band solve its problems. It is music and science together. The sub needs no music background, and no instruments are played: no audio, no devices, and no projector.
