Music Appreciation Activity

As a group project, go through the songs on the website, and have students pick out as many instruments as they can from each song. 

Most songs contain drums and guitar, but can students pick out the fiddle? The mandolin? The tambourine? 

Depending on the age level of your class, some of these instruments may be new to them; this is a great opportunity to present your class with new vocabulary and knowledge of musical instruments.
