Instruments of the Orchestra
The goal in second grade is to get the students acquainted with the different instrument families of the orchestra.
Instrument families consist of several instruments that have similar characteristics while also having individual qualities -- similar to families of people. While students will be introduced to each instrument individually, the main focus is the students ability to aurally (ability to hear) identify each of these instrument families.
The following are the instrument families of the orchestra your child will be studying in music class at Old Post.
