About the orchestra flashcards

GoConqr Original

What the orchestra flashcards cover

Start with Identify Instruments if you want to practise matching instruments to their families. For a deck with pictures and family names, try Instruments of the Orchestra Pictures. Both offer a way into the instrument names on this page.

Other decks take a different approach. Instruments and how they are played includes terms such as bowing, plucking and blowing. Chamber Music has questions about ensembles, venues and texture.

Using the decks to revise

Work through a deck and pause before checking each answer. Return to the cards you found difficult, then try a deck that asks about the same instruments in a different way.

If you want to see the families together, switch to a mind map on the unit page. A quiz can give you another way to check your recall. Choose a deck and try a few cards.
