CLASS 23 · THE MUSIC ROOM

Welcome to the Music Room.

The third room of the school, beside the Library and the School Garden: instruments on the shelves, the words music uses on the wall, and the people — solo, duet, band, chorus, conductor, singer, orchestra — who fill the room with sound. Every tile below opens its own flashcard page, and every card page has a download button and one game to play tonight.

THE INSTRUMENT SHELF

Thirty-three instruments, from accordion to xylophone.

Everything on the room’s shelves, one card each: strings you bow, keys you press, drums you boom and the small ones you shake, click and squeeze. Tap any instrument to open its card — what it is, what it sounds like and how to play a home version tonight.

THE WORDS ON THE WALL

Thirteen music words, from beat to volume.

The words music uses every day — beat, tempo, melody, pitch, volume — each one on its own card with the meaning in child-size words, where to hear it and a game to play it. Learn the words and every song you meet gets easier to talk about.

WHO’S IN THE ROOM

Seven ways people make music together.

The singer who goes first, the duet that shares, the band that divides, the chorus that joins in, the conductor who leads with a stick, the solo that takes the spotlight and the orchestra that is all of it at once — seven cards about making music with other people.
