“Instrument Playground” Would Be A Good Tool For Students Learn About Different Musical…Instruments

Instrument Playground is a Google Experiment that lets you choose from among 100 different musical instruments from around the world, create music with it on your device, learn more about the instrument itself, and then share your creation.

Nothing beats what we would do in our ELL Newcomers class each year – bring students over the band class and have student musicians teach them to play some simple notes on each instrument.

But, of course, I always did a few days of preliminary work prior to that visit – vocabulary, etc.

A site like Instrument Playground would be a fun tool to use for that kind of preparatory time.
