Physics of Music

I'm meant to be doing a practical on how changing the length of a pipe, affects the frequency for a model organ. and need to plan out the experiment. I don't understand what experiment I need to do. Any help please?
Surely blow air into pipes of different lengths and measure the frequency of the sound produced?

Well, we 've been told we need to use a tuning fork and a resonance tube? I think what I'm going to do is place a tuning fork over the resonance tube, and measure the length at which first resonance takes place, and use this to find the wavelength. I will then do with different frequencies and see how the lengths change.

I'm not sure if this is the right experiment to do though

Hold the tuning fork above the pipe, fill the pipe with water slowly and measure when air starts resonating. It should resonate at certain height differences.
If you then change the frequency of the tuning fork you could see the difference in height different from resonance?

All the equations you need for a pipe open at one end should be in your physics book.
Not sure if that's what your after but it's an idea!
