Students can explore new musical genres and cultural traditions with music and movement using Carnegie Hall’s Musical Explorers Map. This interactive map includes audio and visual examples featuring different artists from around the world. Students are able to independently explore historical and cultural aspects of music, or a teacher can utilize the provided lesson plans for a more in-depth unit.

This interactive Instrument Bingo introduces students to the sounds of the instruments in an orchestra. Similar to traditional bingo, each card contains the picture and name of an instrument. 

Students create a listening map while actively listening and reacting to music. Students develop a deeper understanding of music literacy terms through making connections to visual images.

Through Carnegie Hall Listening Adventures, students participate in an interactive digital experience to learn instrument families and specific instruments of the orchestra. Using Benjamin Britten’s Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra, students follow a safari theme to find instruments, listen for correct pitches, and classify instruments based on physical characteristics as well as sound.
