YEAR ONE - LESSON SEVEN


George Meets the Orchestra


Hello Year One!

Click here to see welcome video!


I hope you are enjoying learning at home.


Last time, we met an amazing orchestra of young musicians from Venezuela in South America.

It was very clear that they really enjoy playing their instruments and being part of an orchestra.


Do you remember the piece they played in the video?


Please click on the picture to have another look at the Simon Bolivar Orchestra's performance

if you'd like to see it again:





Today we are going to watch  and listen  to a funny video which draws us cartoons

of lots of instruments one by one - how they look and how they sound.

Can you guess what they are before they are finished?



Please watch the video by clicking on the picture below:

 There were a lot of instruments in that video!  How many can you name? 


Please have a look at the worksheet and write down as many instrument

names as you can.  Please ask your grown ups to help you.


Please click on the box below for the worksheet:


and please click on the box below for the answers.


I am looking forward to seeing your answers.  Please send your work to your class

teacher in the usual way - a scan or a photo is fine.


Thank you very much for working so hard on this, I hope you enjoyed learning

about all of the many instruments in the video.  We will learn more next time.


See you soon.

"I found it very interesting and I thought that children learned about rhythm, by using body percussion without even realising that they were in a lesson, because it was so much fun for them!"


"I would highly recommend it!"


"I thought the song was lovely - there was a nice mix of playing the bowls, clapping, singing and actions. The whole idea of kitchen percussion is a brilliant one for lockdown but good in usual times too."


"The level of what you did/taught was perfect for their age and similar to things they do at school."


"The children all thoroughly enjoyed the session and were engaged throughout. They enjoyed having the opportunity to hold their own ukulele and learn to play along to some simple songs."


"The session was delivered brilliantly and the different stages were broken down into small sections to allow all children to participate."
