Musical Invention Pitch Name Classroom Teacher May 2017 Created by Ms. Oh Hancock Elementary

Directions: You have just received a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work with your favorite musician! They have heard about your new musical instrument invention and are interested in using it for their next album. Create a “pitch” in the form of a PowerPoint presentation that suits the style of the musician and persuade them to choose your musical instrument for their music! Remember – you are trying to IMPRESS your artist!
