Any music teacher knows how frequently students ask for specific tunes from television or movies.

    I have always found it difficult to make my warm-up something that the students take seriously, and improve from. This is the PDF of Larry Clark's clinic at Midwest 2014. It discusses a variety of different tools to help make warm-up something that the ensemble excels at, rather than a waste of time. Also includes a great graphic for the Circle of 4ths / 5ths.

    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!

LSO Play - 0 views

  •  
    This site provides an immersive experience for students to get the feeling of what it's like to play in an orchestra. You can view live performances from different camera angles, as if you are playing in the orchestra. They also include functions that allow you to switch views and explore facts about the different instruments and orchestral sections. This would provide a great visual support for active listening group activities in the classroom; the sound and video quality is excellent. This would also be tremendously helpful for students of conducting.
