Intro

Teacher notes
- This interactive game is a great way to learn about all of the different instruments which make up an orchestra. You can listen to them in their groups or individually to see all of the variation.
  
  Once you've heard all of the sounds separately, why not listen to this piece by Benjamin Britten and hear the whole orchestra together. Or test your knowledge with this Aural quiz.
- This activity works really well with the Aural Quiz and The Young Persons Guide to the Orchestra to teach students how an orchestra is structured and organised.
