    Get your scores here! You can find just about any score here and they will ship it out the same day. Also available are downloadable digital copies of scores. It is easy to search the site and I really like that there are sound files to hear examples of pieces you are considering purchasing.

    J.W. Pepper's online sheet music store is a great place to listen to and order new music. The music usually ships quickly from various locations around the United States. In addition, many of the pieces are available for electronic download. This feature can be important when you need sheet music immediately.
  •  
    This is the best site to find scores and performance ideas. The site allows you to search by composer or title, and you may also purchase scores one at a time to try them out and see if you want to purchase large numbers later after trying them out.

    This is another Orchestra-sponsored website with fun activities for kids. It can be used during spare time, or units could be developed around it. The game I found which I liked in particular is called "Beethoven's Baseball". You get to pick your composer team, and then click on Beethoven to throw the "pitches", which are questions. The game keeps your score and is interactive. The website also has a "listen by composer" section, as well as other instructions for activities including making your own instrument.

    This could be a great resource as a fun follow up with certain topics students are learning.  It could also be a good individual time to explore what they are interested in, whether it be at school or at home!
  •  
    This is a nice resource for games and interactive activities to give students information on the orchestra/orchestral instruments, composers, and the musicians in the orchestra. My students love games and they obviously love technology so I think combining these would be great. This would probably be better for a SMARTboard, rather than projecting it from a computer to the TV because the SMARTboard allows kids to get more involved.
  •  
    This is a great website for students to review concepts learned in class. "Instrument Frenzy" is a high speed game that can be used to review instruments and categorize them by family. 
  •  
    A great website for students to learn about the instruments, and people of the orchestra. They also learn about composers and compositions, and are able to make their own instrument, mingles, and minuets. A great website to use for elementary students who are learning about the orchestra.

    This site is a great way to introduce the instruments of the orchestra.  It can be used individually to play the games or with the whole class to introduce instruments.

    This is a great website to pair with the piece, "Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra" by Benjamin Britten. This interactive game describes all of the instruments in detail, offering relative outside information about each instrument. Students can play along either in a group setting or at home.
  •  
    A great resource for general music classes. Great guide to the orchestra for kids.
  •  
    This website is fantastic for students as individuals or as a full class activity! Step by step it takes them on a safari to learn about each instrument of the orchestra using Benjamin Britten's "A Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra". It is kid-friendly and would be great for students in 2nd and 3rd grade. It tests their listening skills using games deciphering things like notes in a sequence, or high and low.
  •  
    Incredible multimedia, interactive version of Benjamin Britten's famous work. Produced by The Weill Music Institute at Carnegie Hall. Students log in or free play a safari adventure to save an orchestra. Instrument families are explored in detail with listening examples in a leveled gaming experience. Interdisciplinary connections to safari excursion, story telling, sound properties, animals and travel. Teachers can create an account to track student progress and/or assessment. Works well with an IWB.

    I found this site while discovering music technology for Module 5. This is a great interactive game for elementary age children who are or have studied instruments, instrument families, and the orchestra. It teaches the player new information, assesses their understanding of that information, and has opportunities for further study.
  •  
    This is an interactive way to explore and discover instruments of the orchestra. Students will locate and learn about instruments on a "safari type" adventure. This is great for younger students.
  •  
    I use this composition to discuss instruments and instrument families with 3rd grade. Unfortunately, I haven't found something to really engage the students. I think this website might actually intrigue students into learning about the instrument.s

    The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra allows students to learn all about the different instruments in the orchestra, as well as listening examples of classical pieces of music. The games provide a brief lesson, and then students can participate through interactive games. I find this site very informative and the kids love the story line that goes along with the game sequence. Great resource in preparation for our annual Young People's Concert at the Bob Carr in Orlando.
  •  
    Great site for teaching and learning about the instruments of the orchestra. It also has games students can interact with as a group or by themselves.
  •  
    This is a fun, interactive website that helps students get to know the instruments, the set up of a professional ensemble, different genres, and musical roles.
  •  
    This website is a game developed by Carnegie Hall that helps younger students learn the instruments of the orchestra. The game uses Benjamin Britten's Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra. This interactive game helps students understand the layout of an orchestra, the ranges of the individual instruments, and how they sound individually and together in an ensemble. This is an excellent tool for elementary music!

Instrument Cleaning and Maintenance - Beginning Band & Orchestra - Conn-Selmer, Inc. - 1 views

  •  
    Instrument Cleaning and Maintenance Regular cleaning and maintenance is essential to keeping your student's instrument in proper working order. It is recommended to have your instrument inspected and serviced by a repair technician during the Christmas holiday and over the Summer break. The inspection may not result in any work being needed. However, just like an automobile it is recommended that a repair technician perform a tune-up as necessary to keep your instrument in proper working order.

Dallas Symphony Orchestra: Instruments - 0 views

    I use this website with my beginning bands when they are first starting to pick what instrument they want to play. It categorizes instruments by family and gives a brief description of each with a sound clip. There are strings, percussion, woodwinds, and brass. The woodwind section is missing tenor and bari sax, and the brass section is missing euphonium but otherwise it is quite complete. I usually show this while having the actual instrument out.

    This game goes through The Magic Flute, and gives students examples of instruments as they appear in the music.

    This website offers one interactive game, using The Magic Flute, where students guess the instrument sound, as it appears in the music. I would definitely use this in my beginning band classes, so that students can remember instrument sounds in an interactive way.
