The violin is small and has strings too. You play it with a bow, and it can make beautiful music.

The trumpet is shiny and made of brass. You blow into it and press the buttons to make music.

Drums

Drums are so much fun to play! You hit them with sticks to make a beat.

The piano has lots of keys. You press the keys to play songs. It can be loud or soft.

Tambourine

The tambourine is small and round. You shake it or tap it to make a jingling sound.

  • What is your favorite musical instrument from the ones we talked about, and why do you like it? Have you ever seen or heard someone play it?
  • Can you think of a time when you heard music that made you feel happy or excited? What instruments do you think were being played in that music?
  • If you could create your own musical instrument, what would it look like, and how would it sound? What would you name it?
  1. Instrument Sound Hunt: Go on a sound hunt around your home or classroom! Listen carefully and try to find objects that make sounds similar to the musical instruments we learned about. For example, can you find something that makes a sound like a drum or a triangle? Share your discoveries with your friends and try to guess which instrument each sound is like.

  2. Make Your Own Instrument: Let’s get creative and make our own musical instruments! You can use everyday items like rubber bands, boxes, or empty containers. Try making a guitar with a box and rubber bands or a shaker with a container and some rice. Once you’ve made your instrument, play it for your friends and see if they can guess what it is!

  3. Musical Storytime: Think about a story or a favorite book. As you listen to the story, imagine what kind of music would go with it. Would it be fast and exciting like a trumpet, or soft and gentle like a violin? Share your ideas with your friends and see if you can create a little musical performance to go along with the story.
