Introduction
OHH NO!
A TORNADO HIT THE MUSIC BUILDING IN YOUR SCHOOL!
We need your help!
Everything inside the music building was scattered EVERYWHERE!!!We need your help to put back all of the musical instruments in the right lockers and put the CD's in the right cases. But first, we have to learn what each instrument looks like and what the music on the CD's sound like. We need this to be done AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!
Task
Stay calm!
The tornado has not hurt anyone. We only need to see to it that the CD's are placed in the right cases and the instruments under the right labels. This means that we will have to learn the musical styles of the tracks on each CD and the names of each instrument. The following execrise will not only reorganize our music room, but familiarize you with all of the musical instruments we have whilst training your ears to identify different styles of music by listening to tracks and songs. Be sure to pay close attention, as some instruments and styles may sound the same at first. By the end of this execise, you should not only know different styles and instruments, but you should also know the difference.
Process
Lets get started!!
First, you will be divided into two groups. "Group A" will be in charge of identifying and placing the instruments in the correct place. "Group B" will put the CD's in the correct cases.
Second, each group will have to learn about what they are doing so that they know where everything belongs.
Lastly, each group will get the opportunity to use the information they learned to put back the scattered musical instruments and CD's and SAVE THE DAY!!!
Group A:
Below are examples of each instrument that you will find in the band room. Study each instrument's characteristics so that you will not have issues later on!
