How to play Name That Instrument
Tap Start. Peabody reads the question, then the band plays. A tune plays. Which instrument is playing it? 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: Timbre: the same tune sounds different on a guitar, a piano or a drum, and every instrument has its own sound.
It starts easy. A round is ten questions, and eight right the first time climbs a rung: 1. Very different, 2. Any three, 3. Sounds alike. Good for K to 5th grade.
