Printable Music Lessons: Instruments of the Orchestra: each Composer: Tuck Kevin & Janice
The Instruments of the Orchestra module contains fourteen lessons based on instruments found in a standard classical orchestra. Whether you teach in a school that uses a classical approach or a more modern Rock curriculum, you still need to cover the basics of all musical instruments with the students.
This is really written for around a junior high level, but we did not make this information too specific so that it can be relevant in both elementary and high school levels, depending on each school situation. We are not here to tell you what is appropriate for whom – you can decide that for yourself!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have to do teach this module in the specified order?
Absolutely NOT! You can teach the lessons in whichever order you wish. You may even choose to omit certain lessons if they don’t suit your particular situation.
How long is each lesson?
It is up to you to decide how many of the activities you will use and for how long each activity will run. We don’t have a set format for these lessons.
How much material is included?
Generally each lesson plan is one page of ideas, each Fact Sheet is one page, and each Fun Sheet is one page. We did this for simplicity, and so that your students can file them away easily in their books or folders.
What are the terms of the printing license?
We will give you the legal stuff of course, but the long and the short of it is that you have the right to print out as much as you need for your teaching. The only restriction is that you can’t re-sell or share the license with anyone else. That’s just common sense really!
