Step 1:
Download the PowerPoint, titled Musical Instruments, which contains pictures of the eight instruments we are going to learn about today. Go through the PowerPoint, a slide at a time, asking your child if they know the name of the instrument. The name will appear on a second click. Ask your child to repeat the names of the instruments they didn’t know.

Step 2:
Download the PDF titled Musical Instruments (which contains two colouring sheets). Ask your child if they can name the instruments. Help when needed.

Step 3:
Help your child to write the names of the instruments, writing over the dots.

Step 4:
Ask your child to colour in the instruments.

Step 5:
Watch the Sesame Street video, Music School: Murray Has a Little Lamb (the featured video on the right). Tell your child to listen carefully to the sounds of the instruments.

Step 6:
Watch the video again and ask your child to name each instrument as they appear in the video.

Step 7:
Ask your child which instrument is their favourite.
