This lesson introduces students to the concept of resonance and its role in the production of sound in different types of musical instruments.

The main body of the lesson focuses on three interconnected areas:

Resonance in instruments - Students learn how resonance occurs in strings, wind instruments.

Harmonics and wavelength relationships - Using diagrams and interactive simulations, students compare the wavelength of each harmonic with the fundamental frequency, reinforcing their understanding of wave patterns.

Overtones and harmonics- Students identify how overtones and harmonics arise in both stringed and wind instruments by drawing standing waves and analysing real-life examples.

Throughout the lesson, interactive activities such as simulations, diagram drawing, and class discussions help students to test and apply their knowledge.

The lesson concludes with a plenary quiz and reflective discussion, allowing students to consolidate their learning and demonstrate progress.

By the end of the lesson, students are able to:

• Describe how resonance occurs in different types of musical instruments.
• Compare the wavelength of each harmonic in relation to the fundamental frequency.
• Identify how overtones and harmonics are produced in string and wind instruments.
