Looking for a simple way to introduce instrument families using musical instrument coloring pages?
I created these printable coloring sheets to give young students a clear, visual introduction to instruments of the orchestra and beyond. Each page features a large black-and-white line illustration paired with the instrument's name in open outline letters for students to color. They work well for independent seatwork, sub plans, instrument units, music centers, or early finishers.

Percussion Instruments - Bass Drum, Castanets, Chime Tree, Cymbals, Gong, Glockenspiel, Hi-hat, Kettle Drum, Maracas, Marimba, Snare Drum, Tambourine, Triangle, Tubular Bells, Woodblock, Xylophone.
