Project #2: Orchestrate Beethoven's "Fifth Symphony"
As we discussed in class, instruments are grouped by how they produce sound.
To review these families, go to Class 8. Orchestral Instrument Families
Assignment: Orchestrate Beethoven's 5th Symphony

You are going to orchestrate Beethoven's "Symphony No. 5 in Cm" in Soundtrap

The problem is that all the parts have been set to cheesy 1980s piano.
You have to find the correct instrument for each part and change it in the project.
In the left hand column, you will see the correct instrument listed.
Click on the Circle with the piano symbol to change the instrument sound to the correct one.
Once you have change all the instruments, listen again.
