Different music can make us feel and think differently. Some music makes us want to get up and dance, whilst some makes us feel sleepy. Some makes us feel happy, and some can be sad. It's good to listen to different music and let it take you on an adventure.

When you listen, why dont you close your eyes and at the end, try to answer these questions:

1) Did you like the music? Why?
2) How did you feel when you listented to the music?
3) What kind of things did you imagine the music was about?

What is an Orchestra?

An Orchestra is a big group of musicians, sometimes as many as 100 people, that all play music together.

Usually, an orchestra has instruments from 4 main families;

BRASS   WOODWIND   STRINGS     PERCUSSION

Just like us, instruments are part of families. Imagine that those 4 groups I wrote above are like grandparents, and all of the instruments we know the brothers, sisters, cousins, parents. They're all related, but each different.

You can discover all of the different instruments in an orchestra by clicking below:
