Orchestrating an OrchestraIn
this WebQuest, students explore the various instruments that make up an
orchestra, learning about their names and the sounds they make before sketching
their own orchestra and deciding upon an instrument they would like to play.First
of all, students will find out what an orchestra is. Then will discover the different
instruments that create an orchestra, see what they look like, and hear what they
sound like. After they have learned all about orchestra instruments, they will have
an opportunity to hear some different orchestral pieces of music.At the end of this
WebQuest, Students will produce a sketch of an orchestra, pointing out where they
would like the various instruments to sit. When they are finished with their sketch
and feel comfortable with the orchestra, they will select the one instrument they
would like to play and put their name in that spot in your orchestra. On the back of
the sketch, write a short paragraph of why they selected that particular
instrument. Turn in the sketch and paragraph to be graded (see the rubric for how
the work will be assessed). This website integrates he website called “dso kids” into
the lesson about different orchestra instruments. This web site includes pictures
and audio clips for each instrument.
