    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.

    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.

Great resource in preparation for our annual Young People's Concert at the Bob Carr in Orlando.

    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!

New York Philharmonic Kidzone - 0 views

  •  
    On this site, students can gain further understanding in a variety of musical topics, some that they may be learning in school. Most of the activities are game-oriented, so this is a fun outlet for kids to explore outside of the music classroom. Students can learn about the instruments of the orchestra, famous musicians and soloists, and popular composers. One thing to note is that the descriptions are rather text-heavy. Therefore, this site would be appropriate for an older elementary student or middle schooler as far as reading readiness is concerned.
