This lesson is from the Making Music 4th grade teacher’s book.In this lesson students learn about different ensembles and the way they sound. They learn that there are no saxophones in an orchestra, but there are strings. There are no strings in a band, but there are saxophones, etc.Near the end of the PowerPoint I had included some photos of my family members, who are also musicians, but I have removed them from this PowerPoint to protect them and my identity and location etc. Feel free to use the PowerPoint and insert your own photos!
This lesson follows the Timbre Lesson, and precedes the Texture/Ostinato Lesson.

I hope to encourage my students to try their hardest, feel like they have accomplished something, and give them a life long passion for music."
