Here you can find a list of common instruments you might have in your classroom along with simple instructions for how to play them at a basic level.

Teachers don't have to be prodigies at every instrument, often even the most basic instrumental skills are enough to show kids how to learn music. Often educators can find themselves stuck, thinking they have to be an excellent pianist to be able to use a piano as a learning tool and that simply isn't so. First, identify any instruments you have access to that you don't know how to play, then find their entry in the drop down How To Play menu to get started!
