WACKY Inventions

A TIP for playing your wacky straw instruments: put the end of the last straw in the crook of your elbow and hold it there by gently closing your arm on it (not too tight!).  This makes it much easier to get a sound than it is when you put the straw behind your knee or in your armpit.  The sound may be less offensive to sensitive persons, as well.  We had one talented student this week play "Happy Birthday".
