Getting to Know the Instruments - Orchestral Instruments

​Getting to Know Orchestral Instruments : Teacher Notes

Since I'm stuck at home (and kids are too) I'm looking for other ways to introduce kids to all the instruments and help them choose an instrument to play in middle school.  Here's one resource I'm sharing with them from the Portland Youth Philharmonic.

What I share with kids:

Welcome to the orchestra!  This quick and fun video shows each group of instruments in the orchestra as demonstrated by the Portland Youth Philharmonic.  Watch the video (starting at 1:38) and respond with your favorite instrument demonstration.  Tell me if you liked the song they played, the instrument itself, or if there was something else that made it your favorite.
