Grade 3 Music – Timbre & Articulation Music Interactive Notebook Activities

Teach your Grade 3 music class all the fundamental concepts for timbre (classification of instruments by listening to their sound (e.g., wind [woodwind, brass], stringed, electronic, membrane, pitched percussion instruments) as well as expression (crescendo/decrescendo, legato/staccato).

When I use these activities in my classroom, I use it as one of the stations in my music centers (so that their notebook can be taken with them to the centers and used as a reference, as well as holding their work from the other centers) but it could just as easily be used as a whole-class activity.

All text in the activities is written with a traceable font so that students will be able to complete the work correctly even with limited reading/writing ability.

Instructions are included for each activity, but as written directions can be difficult for this age group, they are really meant more as a guide for the teacher than for the students to follow. I recommend having a sample notebook with each activity that the students can look at for reference.
