Discover the Instruments of the Orchestra: Digital Version

Discover the Instruments of the Orchestra Series has gone DIGITAL! Now you can explore the four families of the orchestra – strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion – with interactive projection and sound! Capture your students’ imaginations with full-color photos, instrument histories, interesting fun facts and titles of representative musical works featuring each instrument – all set in a user-friendly PDF format that uses Adobe Reader 9.0 or higher. This ENHANCED version also features short sound sample recordings for each instrument that are embedded into the projected file, so you can listen and watch with a single click! For review and assessment, this resource also includes an orchestral recording of Benjamin Britten’s “The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra: Theme” which features all four instrument families. For more review, there is also a listening game “Who Am I?” that will challenge your students and assess how well they know each instrument by sight and sound. Whether you use an interactive whiteboard, or a projection system and your computer, the learning possibilities are endless! Grades 4-8
