Instrument Families

What am I learning?

*which instrument families instruments belong in!

How can I make sure I am successful?

*I have watched the clip

*I have guessed what families the instruments belong to

Activity description/steps:

There are so many instruments that get played in brass bands, rock bands, orchestras, productions and dramas. We started learning about some of these at the beginning of term 1, but now is a good time to recall the instruments we know, and learn the names of some new ones!

While you’re watching this clip your challenge is to decide which instrument family the different instruments belong to and to write it down.

How many did you get right?
