Upon seeing the materials I have on hand, I will admit I Finished


felt like there wasn't much I could do. However, after
revisiting the webinar featuring Prof. Narciso, I was

improvised instruments. Hence, for this fun and
creative activity, I've come up with improvised pairs of
maracas. Fun fact: this project took less than 10
minutes to create! The primary goal of this output is
to devise a more accessible and simple means of
making rhythm and music. I also think that this is
beneficial for those who have children at home, as
music is said to aid in their development. Maracas, in a
way, are similar to rattles, which provide a source of
stimulation for them. Although I wished I could do
something different, I honestly had so much fun
making this. I'd like to create something in the future
that is more practical and can be used on a daily
basis.
