All about the orchestral families

In year 4 music for the last three weeks, we have been exploring instruments of the orchestra. We had the opportunity to try some of them, we listened to their timbre and watched the orchestra in action.

We also learned about the pizzicato - a playing technique that involves plucking the string of a string instrument. We had fun using percussion instruments to imitate the pizzicato method to one of the most famous pizzicato pieces 'Pizzicato' by Leo Delibes.
