Staceyshoe Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Is there a website or resource that has recording of different musical instruments played individually (preferably the same song)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morosophe Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) You could always check out Benjamin Britten's Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra, which is a very well-known piece and seems to be available on Youtube, for instance. Carnegie Hall has even based a flash game on it, apparently. I have no idea if that would be helpful or not, actually. This little flash game is fun, though. It lets you take away particular instruments and add them back. There are four styles of songs, presumably with the appropriate instrument groups.

Dmmetler Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 The Seashore test of musical aptitude and GIA timbre preference tests both include this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penelope Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 We have this: http://www.amazon.com/Orchestra-Mark-Rubin/dp/0920668992 Ours came with a CD, but I don't know if the amazon one does. I don't remember if it is individual instruments, or just groups. There is classicsforkids.com. No individual instruments, I don't think. Peter and the Wolf has some individual instruments, but you will have to tell them which ones they are. And Young People's Guide to the Orchestra has them in groups: brass, woodwinds, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NittanyJen Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 You have also gotten a copy of Peter and the Wolf? A version that introduces the instruments one by one before launching into the story? And then finishes with just the music without the story? It's fun to hear it all come together in context :) Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staceyshoe Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Great ideas! Thank you! Now that I know what to look for, I'll be checking the library to see what's there. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I'm not sure if this is exactly what you have in mind, but my kids kind of like it. A Child's Introduction to the Orchestra from http://www.artsreformation.com/records/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
