Today we’re going to start reviewing the modern orchestra. We’ll start with the seating chart for the instruments
and what instruments are in the families. All you have to do for the first sheet is decide whether the instrument
listed is a percussion instrument, woodwind, brass, or string, and then colour it in according to the colour scheme
indicated on the sheet. On the second sheet, you’re going to look through the instruments on each section and tell
me which instrument does not belong to that family.
Body (modeling, collaborative work, individual = gradual release of responsibility, synthesis) (5 MINS):
Students will start the worksheets. This should not take more than 5-10 minutes.
