The Symphony Orchestra

  Home > Teachers’ Resource

To aid teachers who wish to use this site in their classroom teaching, we have specially created a set of suggested lesson plans that cater for students of different ages. We have also sorted the information on this site into printable notes and worksheets in Adobe Acrobat (*.PDF) format. In this section you will also find recommended books and recordings suited for use in the classroom or as separate reading material.

If you have developed any material for teaching students about the orchestra, or have developed your own lesson plans, why not share them with other teachers? Simply contact us at C005400@thinkquest.org and we’ll take it from there. You will get credit for your work, of course.

Any suggestions or comments are also welcome - simply email us at the above address.
