In this lesson series, we will discover the symphony orchestra. Students will explore 'An Alpine Symphony' by composer Richard Strauss and analyse a range of natural sounds.

Get your students excited about the string instruments in the orchestra. In this Fortissimo lesson series, we will explore the musical concept of tempo, i.e. the speed in music.

There will also be a chance to do an experiment on pitches. In the Fortissimo app, children will meet Grandpa Stradivarius and explore the world of the violins.
With Handel's 'Water Music', your class will go on a time travel journey back to the Baroque period and discover the world of brass instruments.
