Typing Lesson

I need a lesson plan on Timbre/Tone Color please help!

There are many excellent pre-done lesson plans on line for the Benjamin Britten Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra. Same melody (more or less) makes the rounds of all instruments and families. This way, you isolate timbre from other parameters - playing different solos, with different tempi, melodies, harmony, will confuse younger kids - and a lot of older ones, too.

   Lilly, hi..you really need to give more information. Ex; Are you talking about a piece of board..can the tones represent music notes..dark for low notes, light for high?
