Summary
This is a creative Open Toolkit designed for open learners, aiming to guide participants to rediscover the often-overlooked sounds in our daily lives. The ticking of a clock, the rumble of the subway, the noise of the street, or the wind blowing through a window crack—these sounds, usually regarded as “noise,” are in fact part of the “soundscape” that shapes our everyday experience. These elements, too, form an essential part of what we call music.

5 steps to create music using everyday objects:
Step 1: Close your eyes. What do you hear? Can you describe what is making the sound?
Step 2: Find a place you think is quiet. Listen carefully. Do you notice any sounds you usually ignore, such as the hum of an appliance or the ticking of a clock?
Step 3: Look at the objects around you. What are they? What do you think would happen if you tapped them with your fingertips or knuckles? What sound might they make?
Step 4: Now tap the objects around you. What sound do they make? Is it the same as you imagined? What does it sound like? Can you discribe it?
Step 5: Record a short video. Tap the objects around you freely and create a rhythm. It can follow the rhythm of a song you like or it can be completely random. Just enjoy the joy of creating rhythm and beats.
