 Identify aurally and visually the instrumental sections of the Western Orchestra
 Give the name of the musical instruments.
 Appreciate the value and importance of musical instruments

Value: patience, self-reliance, appreciate the foreign and local instruments.

II. Subject Matter:

Classification of Instruments

References: 21st Century MAPEH in Action pp. 50-53

Materials: Laptop, projector, pictures, musical instrument/s

II. Learning Activities:

A. Motivation

-Teacher will play guitar and sing a song together with the pupils.
- Teacher will let the pupils sing a song without musical instruments and ask the
learners the difference between singing with and without the musical instruments.

Ask:
-How do you feel when you sing the songs?
-What makes you feel good in singing those songs?
-Do you think you will like to sing the song if there is no music or any
musical instruments on it?
- Did you know any musical instruments made by our own Filipino
musicians?
- Can you name any primitive musical instruments used by our ancestors?
- Do you like playing musical instruments?
 - what instrument did I used?
-What instruments do you want to play?
- Do you see yourself playing a musical instrument like a member of an
orchestra?

B. Presentation:

- Teacher will play the video of an Orchestra, then ask the pupils.

o What can you say about the video?

o Can you write on the board the name of the different musical instruments
that they use?

- the word “orchestra” is coming from ancient Greek theaters which refers to the
stage and the audience used by the dancers and the musicians.
-Orchestrated music features distinct sound quality of various instruments. The
orchestra has varied sizes and compositions determined by the musical
arrangement to be performed.

C. Lesson Proper

- Teacher presents the Power Point Presentation to the pupils.

- There are basically four (4) sections in the orchestra which is based on the family of
musical instruments.

- In others words there four (4) classifications of Musical Instruments.

 - Teacher will discuss each sections of musical instruments use in Western Orchestra,
then let the pupils discover how important the different musical instruments and will
appreciates all of them.

- Then ask the pupils, “do you think musical instruments are important? Why?

D. Activity

Guessing game

1.
2. Listen and guess
- Teacher gives pictures of the different musical instruments to the pupils to let them
identify instrumental sections of the Western Orchestra then paste it to the board
and write the name of it.

E. Generalization
What are the instrumental sections of Western Orchestra?
 Important things to remember that need to be copied 

• The strings are the largest family of instruments in the orchestra and they
come in four sizes: the violin, which is the smallest, viola, cello, and the
biggest, the double bass, sometimes called the contrabass.
• Woodwind instruments are a family of musical instruments within the more
general category of wind instruments. Common examples
include flute, clarinet, oboe, bassoon, and saxophone.
• A percussion instrument is a musical instrument that is sounded by being
struck or scraped by a beater including attached or enclosed beaters
or rattles struck, scraped or rubbed by hand or struck against another similar
instrument.
• A brass instrument is a musical instrument that produces sound
by sympathetic vibration of air in a tubular resonator in sympathy with the
vibration of the player's lips.

 The String Family
When you look at a string instrument, the first thing you'll probably notice is that
it's made of wood, so why is it called a string instrument? The bodies of the string
instruments, which are hollow inside to allow sound to vibrate within them, are
made of different kinds of wood, but the part of the instrument that makes the
sound is the strings, which are made of nylon, steel or sometimes gut. The strings
are played most often by drawing a bow across them. The handle of the bow is
made of wood and the strings of the bow are actually horsehair from horses' tails!
Sometimes the musicians will use their fingers to pluck the strings, and
occasionally they will turn the bow upside down and play the strings with the
wooden handle.

The strings are the largest family of instruments in the orchestra and they come in
four sizes: the violin, which is the smallest, viola, cello, and the biggest, the double
bass, sometimes called the contrabass. (Bass is pronounced "base," as in
"baseball.") The smaller instruments, the violin and viola, make higher-pitched
sounds, while the larger cello and double bass produce low rich sounds. They are
all similarly shaped, with curvy wooden bodies and wooden necks. The strings
stretch over the body and neck and attach to small decorative heads, where they
are tuned with small tuning pegs.

 
percussion instrument is a musical instrument that is sounded by being struck or scraped by
a beater including attached or enclosed beaters or rattles struck, scraped or rubbed by hand or
struck against another similar instrument. Excluding zoomusicological instruments and the
human voice, the percussion family is believed to include the oldest musical instruments.[1]
The percussion section of an orchestra most commonly contains instruments such as
the timpani, snare drum, bass drum, cymbals, triangle and tambourine. However, the section
can also contain non-percussive instruments, such as whistles and sirens, or a blown conch shell.
Percussive techniques can even be applied to the human body itself, as in body percussion. On
the other hand, keyboard instruments, such as the celesta, are not normally part of the percussion
section, but keyboard percussion instruments such as the glockenspiel and xylophone (which do
not have piano keyboards) are included.
Percussion instruments are most commonly divided into two classes: pitched
percussion instruments, which produce notes with an identifiable pitch, and unpitched
percussion instruments, which produce notes or sounds in an indefinite pitch.
A brass instrument is a musical instrument that produces sound by sympathetic vibration of air in a
tubular resonator in sympathy with the vibration of the player's lips. Brass instruments are also
called labrosones[1] or labrophones, from Latin and Greek elements meaning 'lip' and 'sound'.
There are several factors involved in producing different pitches on a brass
instrument. Slides, valves, crooks (though they are rarely used today), or keys are used to change
vibratory length of tubing, thus changing the available harmonic series, while the
player's embouchure, lip tension and air flow serve to select the specific harmonic produced from the
available series.
The view of most scholars (see organology) is that the term "brass instrument" should be defined by
the way the sound is made, as above, and not by whether the instrument is actually made of brass.
Thus one finds brass instruments made of wood, like the alphorn, the cornett, the serpent and
the didgeridoo, while some woodwind instruments are made of brass, like the saxophone.

Woodwind instruments are a family of musical instruments within the more general category

of wind instruments. Common examples include flute, clarinet, oboe, bassoon, and saxophone.
There are two main types of woodwind instruments: flutes and reed instruments (otherwise called
reed pipes). The main distinction between these instruments and other wind instruments is the way
in which they produce sound.[1] All woodwinds produce sound by splitting the air blown into them on a
sharp edge, such as a reed or a fipple. Despite the name, a woodwind may be made of any material,
not just wood. Common examples include brass, silver, cane, as well as other metals such as gold
and platinum. The saxophone, for example, though made of brass, is considered a woodwind
because it requires a reed to produce sound. Occasionally, woodwinds are made out of earthen
materials, especially ocarinas.
