Going Further

1. Play along with your music as you play it back.

2. Practice with the recording until you're able to play it on your own.

3. Give your piece a title and write words that go along with the rhythms.

Music Maps

Music Maps are great advanced listening tools for kids to work on independently from elementary school and up. Depending on the age of your kid(s), they're likely already familiar with the concept of story maps - visual representations of what happens in a story, from beginning to end. We've put our own musical spin on it with Music Maps. Music Maps will ask your child to focus and be attentive to what they're hearing as they map out the progression of the music. Here's how it works:

1. Press play to listen to the piece of music. Listen once through before starting the music maps activity.

2. Drag and drop the tiles, each depicting different music events, to reorder them in the order that they happen in the music.

3. When you think you have the order correct, click "Check My Music Map" to find out.

What's Musical Bingo?

Musical Bingo is a fun way to help learners young and old to recognize the sounds of the instruments. Your musical ears will really be put to the test as you work towards being able to shout out BINGO in victory!

Musical Bingo is the same as regular Bingo, except instead of marking off the numbers that someone calls out, you'll listen to music samples and mark off the instruments you hear. If you want to train your ear a little more before you play, head over to our blog posts about the string and woodwind and brass and percussion families to listen to every instrument one by one.

Play Online

Pick the Parts

To help kids understand how musicians work alone and as a team, we have an interactive activity with some of our wonderful musicians playing from home at your command!

You can turn the sound and videos of each musician on and off by clicking on them.

Listen to what parts different instruments play and how they work together.

Try as many combos as you like!

NOTE ON TECHNOLOGY: Please use Google Chrome for this activity. Since Apple will only allow one video to play at a time on an Apple device, visit this page from a non-Apple device to do the interactive activity. If you are on an Apple device, you'll still have access to the full performance video.
