Lesson 15

The Orchestra (1)

This is your new song "The Orchestra", please listen to this movie at first.
There are 5 kinds of musical instruments in it, can you recognize all of them? 
If not, no worries at all, you will learn what do each instrument sound like one by one individually. 

It might be a good idea to have this score printed if it would be possible since each of these parts has lyrics that described instruments.

Drum (Timpani) 

Drum is a percussion instrument, it can be said to mean a set of "timpani" in this song.
Please take a look the first movie, someone explaining about the timpani and you can hear what does the timpani sound like, and then, move on to the next movie. You will have just 2 notes (Do and So) in this part. 

French Horn

The French horn is a brass instrument.
Do you remember you had a "line-rider" video with the music from " Nutcracker" in lesson 14? You can often hear the sound of French horns playing the main melody in "Waltz of the Flowers"​. This part is staying on the same note (So) all the time in this song, so it is not hard at all!

Can you find French Horns and Timpani? 

Finding Timpani would be tricky... please focus at 2:13 on the left side of the screen, you will find it!
