String Family Instruments

String family instruments worksheets introduce young musicians to the violin, viola, cello, double bass, harp, guitar, lute, mandolin, banjo, zither, and other string instruments through visual and hands-on activities. The collection includes coloring pages, tracing, dot-to-dot worksheets, line puzzles, instrument-part labeling, crafts, and listening activities for preschool and elementary music students. These printables are useful for music centers, instrument-family units, independent work, sub plans, homeschool, and private lessons. I like to begin an instrument-family unit with pictures rather than asking children to memorize a long list of names. Students can color an instrument, trace its name, solve a simple puzzle, or label its parts. Repeatedly seeing the shape and name helps them distinguish similar instruments such as the violin, viola, cello, and double bass.
