Music: The Violin
Ask the children what they know about the violin. Play three different instruments including the violin, and have them select the one they think is a violin. Ask children if they can identify the instruments that are not the violin. Here are examples to play for this exercise:
- piano (keyboard stringed)
- snare drum (percussion)
- violin (bowed stringed)
The violin is a bowed stringed musical instrument that was "born" in Italy (find it in globe or map). Other members of the violin family are the viola, cello and double bass. Other stringed musical instruments are the guitar, ukulele, banjo, and harp.
