Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra
By Benjamin Britten

Last week, we focused on the String family as we listened to the “Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra” by Benjamin Britten. This week, we will focus on the Woodwind family! The members of the woodwind family are: Piccolo, Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, and Bassoon.

Ms. Han's intro

Woodwinds family intro

​Which woodwind instrument is the best?

3.) LISTEN: 

Theme (starts at 0:32)

First watch and listen to the THEME of our piece played by the Woodwinds. The theme in a piece of music means the 'big idea", just like it does in a book! Britten announces the theme in the very beginning of the piece with everyone playing. Then, each family gets a turn to play the theme alone.

Woodwinds variation

Next, listen to the Woodwind VARIATION. This means that you will hear the "big  idea", but it will be a little different.​ You can use the listening map below as well! 

Listening Map

Listen carefully to the woodwinds variations and fill out this listening map!
