A number of nice web pages have been
written for kids. Some by professional Symphonies like the New York Philharmonic and
Dallas Symphony, explaining how an orchestra is put together and what each instrument
does. Others web sites help you understand how music works, using pictures or games.
If you are interested in playing in an orchestra, these sites might give you ideas
on how to start, what instrument to choose, and show you just how much fun you can
have!
