Inside the Symphony: Exploring the Instruments of the Orchestra - Part 2

Welcome to the next chapter of our Symphony Journey! This class is a follow-up class for Part 1, where we learned about strings and woodwind instruments, but it’s not necessary to take the classes in order. Here’s the link for Part 1:

In Part 1 of this class, we learned about the beautiful melodies of string and woodwind instruments. In this class, we’ll learn about the big, grand world of brass and percussion instruments! As we introduce each group, we’ll take a closer look at individual instruments and discuss what makes them unique, including the history and science behind them.

Learners will become familiar with instrument sounds by listening to examples from well-known classical melodies and popular film score music. At the end of class, we’ll sharpen our listening skills by guessing which instruments made different sounds in a light-hearted game.

We'll hear some music from films such as:
Avengers
Star Wars
The Incredibles
Indiana Jones
And more!

No musical experience is necessary! If students do have a background in music or play an instrument, they are welcome to explain to the class what makes their instrument special.
