What do teachers say about this resource? (12190)
Plenty of video and listening activities for students to be able to see and hear the different instruments and make comparisons... A variety of tasks covering performance and composition... Learning aims are stated clearly... It covers all of the instruments families clearly... Encourages students to listen and identify instruments and emotions of a piece of music... I think this resource is good to begin to explore the different instruments and their place in the orchestra... The homework links to the lessons and helps to consolidate learning.
Tasks are interesting... Fun, creative starters.
