Task:

You will take your friend along on this web quest as your read about each instrument family in the orchestra: Strings, Woodwinds, Brass and Percussion.

Because music is an aural art, spend time listening to audio samples at a variety of orchestra web sites.

Be sure to complete your Musical Instrument Fact, Radio News, and Play Music Information pages.

Create your own unique Musical Instrument Quartet choosing one instrument from each orchestra family. One instrument must be in the high register, one in the low register and two in between.

In order to compare and contrast your two final musical instrument choices, you will create a Venn Diagram to illustrate your points.

Finally, complete the I Want To Play In The Orchestra Checklist.
