The String Family - Whole Lesson

**Lesson four in a series of six lessons on musical instruments and instrumental families. Lesson four is on The String Family This lesson forms part of a series designed to teach children about musical instruments and instrumental families without the need for music resources or specialist musical knowledge. The lessons are designed to be accessible to students from all musical backgrounds. Although the lesson does form part of a series, it can also be used a stand-alone lesson on string instrument and does not need to be used in conjunction with other lessons in the series. This lesson pack contains a presentation and 6 worksheets. **Presentation** The presentation is best used to teach students about the string family. The lesson presentation is structured as follows: * overview of instrument families * overview of the string family - key instruments, common features etc. * Deeper look at the violin, viola, cello, and double bass * Deeper look at the acoustic and electric guitar * Deeper look at the harp * Comparison of string instruments * Three activities The presentation finishes with three different activity suggestions to consolidate knowledge. The presentation includes questions and short activities throughout to allow students to take an active part in their learning. The presentation is long enough and detailed enough that it could be separated across two lessons for lower ability learners. If this is the case, I would suggest splitting into two lessons, starting the second lesson with the comparisons between instruments. **Worksheets** The lesson pack comes with 6 different worksheets, each a different activity as follows: cut and stick wordsearch times table sheet unscramble activity fact file writing activity true or false quiz Worksheets come with answers where appropriate. All worksheets except the fact file writing worksheet would make excellent starter or plenary activities to frame the lesson.
