Take Part In A Musical Year! Bulletin Board


Take Part In A Musical Year bulletin board for orchestra beginning of the year


For this fall, I played on the words "take part" as an opportunity to display instrument and bow parts.  I don't mind puns when I can use them as a learning opportunity :)  And a special thanks to my mom who came up with the phrase...I knew I wanted to do something with instrument parts, but couldn't think of a good back-to-school phrase.

My mom and I used the overhead projector to trace the instruments onto poster board, and then I outlined them in permanent marker and filled them in with water colors.  On the bulletin board itself, I stapled black yarn to connect each instrument part to its label.  I really like how this one turned out!  Now as students in all grade levels are walking to and from music class, they might pick up a few new vocabulary words and have a greater appreciation for all that orchestra students are learning about next door in orchestra.

  1. Where did you get the pictures of instruments? I'm looking for pics. of all 4 instrument families (separate instrument cutouts). Frank Schaffer used to make one, but it is out of print.

    1. I think I just did a Google image search for clip art of the different instruments. Then my mom used her overhead projector to project a larger image to trace. We used a Sharpie for outlining and then water colors to paint. Hope that helps! I like the large sizes too!
