Meet the Orchestra Instruments!
The beginning Orchestra has many instruments to choose from to inspire everyone. Below you will find examples of all the different instruments in the orchestra. Please read through it carefully to give you a perspective of the many choices!
Violin - The violin is the smallest and highest sounding member of the orchestra. More music has been written for the violin than any other strings instrument. Mrs. Vanhook plays the violin!
Viola - The beautiful tone of the viola has attracted students for hundreds of years. It is slightly bigger than the violin but has a richer, deeper sound.
Cello - The cello is just like a big viola that you sit down to play. It has a beautiful strong sound that can fill up a room. Yo-Yo Ma is a famous cellist that plays in many movies!
Double Bass - Bass Rocks! Did you know bass is the most versatile instrument in the orchestra? You can play the bass in orchestra, jazz band and rock bands (even learn bass guitar easily)! Cool, huh?
