Grade Three - The Orchestra

Over the last 2 weeks, grade 3 students have been exploring the various instruments of the orchestra. The instruments are divided into 4 "families." They are called families because the instruments are related in some way. The four families are: The String Family, The Woodwind Family, The Brass Family, and The Percussion Family.

Can you remember what is similar about the instruments in each family?

Here are some fun websites with orchestra-related activities. Have fun exploring and learning!
