Make your music class exciting with these String Orchestra Instruments Listening Activities. Help your students learn about string instruments—the violin, viola, cello, and double bass—in a fun and engaging way. They will listen to two special music pieces for each instrument and learn the basic information about the instruments and a summary of the biographies of the composers. This helps students recognize and remember the unique sound of each instrument and broaden their musical horizons. While listening, students can relax and color mandala pages that match the instruments. This resource is perfect for teachers looking to introduce the rich world of string music in a fun and interactive way.
