#instrumentoftheday #americanfotoplayer #rhythmnnews #musiceducation #musichistory The first introduction of sound to film was one of the biggest breakthroughs in the movie industry and sent a shock wave to all, as well as a wave of new and inspiring innovations. Developed in 1926 in California, the fotoplayer kickstarted this movement. This instrument combined #piano  parts, #organpipes, a #xylophone #bells, #triangle #drums, and more, and included tons of pedals, levers, buttons, switches, and pull chords that each made a different sound. Before sound could be recorded for films, the fotoplayer enabled musicians to add in musical effects during a screening, bringing entertainment to a brand-new level, and strengthening the ties between the worlds of music, theater, and Hollywood. #rhythmnnews_edu https://www.instagram.com/p/B5VD7e8BOCt/?igshid=zfnb3d8qseob

#musicfacts #instrumentoftheday #acoustic#guitat Learning to play the acoustic guitar is an incredibly exciting hobby to take on. Many people aspire to be full-time musicians, famous for their lyrics and chords. But the great thing about playing the acoustic guitar is that you don’t have to be famous to be amazingly talented! #talent #musicians#realestate #real #realtalk #music #listen #loveformusic #loves #musicislife #rhythmnnews #rnneducation https://www.instagram.com/p/BxpZtlBhbon/?igshid=1o6f3acwwqlx0

#instrumentoftheday #tinwistle In the same year #charlesdickens classic A Christmas Carol was published, another fantastic piece of history was conceived by a young #RobertClarke in 1843. His invention, the modern day tin whistle, was made using a small piece of wood, some solder, and a tinplate in a small, humble village in #Suffolk, #England. Unbeknownst to Clarke, an uneducated but hard-working family man, the #instrument he created would eventually become the staple of a very popular musical genre. As mentioned, the tin whistle has become indistinguishable from #Celtic #music and is a beloved instrument of Celtic musicians and fans alike. #history #musiceducation #music #history #education #musichistory #rhythmnnews #rhythmnnews_edu https://www.instagram.com/p/BvOxFh7BGGp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9fbjcvxvut16

#instrumentoftheday #Uncello The Uncello was created for the chamber opera Plasm over ocean in 1977, premiered by the #DashukiMusic Theatre at the World Trade Center on June 19. It was featured in New Jersey Monthly magazine and on New Jersey Public Television. The instrument was built of rock maple with standard cello strings and bridge, and a glass bowl as a resonator. It was tuned with harpsichord pegs at the top of its high arc, and the tailpiece was made of plexiglas. The entire instrument, except for the arc, was bolted together and could be taken apart for travel and storage. #instrument #music #history #education #musichistory #musiceducation #opera #rhythmnnews #rnneducation #rhythmnnews_edu https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu3hoE2hsVW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=a0dxqtxyblja

#instrumentoftheday Is the original #rainstick. A long, hollow tube partially filled with small pebbles or beans that has small pins or thorns arranged helically on its inside surface. When the stick is upended, the pebbles fall to the other end of the tube, making a sound reminiscent of rain falling. #storms #rain #music #precussion #instrument #africa #relax #musichistory #musiceducation #rhythmnnews https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs0Timthq0W/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4kx9zedfirs

#instrumentoftheday #frenchorn As the name indicates, humans originally used to blow on the actual horns of animals before starting to emulate them in metal. This original usage survives in the shofar, a ram's horn, which plays an important role in #Jewishreligious rituals. #aerophones #instrument #europe #musicians #music #musiceducation #musichistory #rhythmnnews
