How to play Instrument Families
Tap Start. Peabody reads the question, then the band plays. Strings, keyboards, percussion or electronic: which family is playing? Tap one of the three boxes. If it isnβt right, it fades, the sound plays again, and you can try another. Hear it again plays the sound as many times as you like.
What it teaches: Instruments come in families: strings you pluck or bow, keyboards you press, percussion you hit, and electronic sounds made by electricity.
It starts easy. A round is ten questions, and eight right the first time climbs a rung: 1. The best-known ones, 2. All of them. Good for 1st to 5th grade.
