Wooden wind instruments

Here is a family of woodwinds. We know a lot of interesting things about them.
These wind instruments seem strange to us: they are made of metal, but they are called wooden.
The shepherd's pipe is their relative. I have riddles about everyone.

Is that a mouse squeaking here? Or is someone screaming here?
The little one gave us the tune... (piccolo flute).

The horn gave them the power of sound, entwined them with ringing copper.
These brass, shiny, large wind instruments.
To play a melody on them, you need to blow and press buttons.

I am guaranteed success in the copper group. I am also in houses where stoves are heated.

The voice is low and short of breath - and too heavy... (tuba)

Strings bowed instruments

Strings and bows - a large team. I'll tell you a secret.
Instruments will not be able to sound as they should if there is no bow nearby.

The smooth movements of the bow make the strings tremble.
The motive sings from afar, sings about a moonlit evening.
How clear is the overflow of sounds! They contain joy and a smile.
A dreamy tune sounds, its name... ( violin)

The sound is intense, juicy, melodious, sweet-mysterious, smoothly drawn-out.

This touch-me-not is capricious and has a lot of strings.
And in order to play music, you need to sort through them all... (harp)

Percussion instruments

It is no coincidence that these numerous instruments are all called percussion.
So that they can respond to us with sound, the musicians must beat them.

The skin on top, the skin on the bottom too, can sound so loud.
Wooden girlfriends dance on the top of his head.
They beat him, and he thunders, telling everyone to keep pace... (drum)

But in geometry I am an important figure... (triangle)

As soon as you take them in your hands, you will end up in Spain... (castanets)

Though percussion instrument- but the melody at the moment
I'll play it exactly in tune. And my name is... (xylophone).

Presenter - A whole batch of musical instruments was brought to the warehouse - fresh from the factory, all in boxes and crates. But a playful kitten got in there and tore all the labels with the names of the instruments to shreds. Guys, we need to help the storekeeper figure it out. Let's add up the names of the instruments by putting the letters in the correct order. Children are given sets of letters from which they need to make up the names of instruments, for example:

ATIGRA, MUZZLE, BROUT, PICRAS, LYARO, GRANO, TRIVLIA, NOSFASOC, etc.

Presenter - Dunno took a notebook and decided to write the names of all the instruments he knew. But he mixed up all the syllables in them! Guys, let's fix these mistakes.

TROM-TAURS, LI-BON; BALA-NET, CLAR-TAIKA; GI-SOPHON, KSI-TARA;

XYLO-GAN, OR-FON; VAL-GOTH, FA-TORNA; FLAY-VESIN, KLA-TA, etc.

On the button accordion - an accordion player. Guitar player. An accordion player on the harmonica. And on the tambourine?..

On the kobza there is a kobzar. On the pipe - dudar. On the spoons there is a spoon. And on the timpani?..

Flute player. On the tuba there is a tuba player. On the clarinet - a clarinetist. And on the tom-tom?..

There is an organist on the organ. On the piano - a pianist. And on the piano?..

Who plays the drum? On a balalaika? On a violin? On the double bass? On a synthesizer?

Option 1. There are pieces of paper scattered on the floor or table with the names of the instruments of the symphony orchestra. At the signal, the children must gather them into groups and place them as they are in the orchestra. The game can be either team or individual.

Option 2. The instruments of a symphony orchestra are mixed with instruments of a folk or jazz orchestra. At the signal, you need to “seat” them in the required orchestras.

Children are divided into several groups. Each group is given rustling “tools”: sheets of paper and foil, cellophane wrappers, plastic bags, etc. The presenter offers to decorate a musical piece with these instruments (any polka, waltz or march). Each group has its own ostinato rhythmic pattern. At first, the orchestra rehearses without music, gradually overlaying and combining the rhythmic ostinato of different groups. Then a rustling orchestra performs to a soundtrack.

7. Noise orchestra

The orchestra features Orff instruments, as well as maracas (from Kinder Surprises with cereal), “tweezers” (yogurt boxes with elastic bands). Pieces with a clear rhythmic structure in a three-part form or rondo form are selected for performance.

Example: Glinka “March of Chernomor”

1 phrase: accents – loud pinching of the elastic band of the “tweezers”, then – maracas. 2nd phrase: tap the bottom of the “tweezer” with your finger along with the maracas. Reprise 1 phrase; at the transition to the middle part, turn the “pinch” over (for quiet plucking).

Middle part.

First - sticks and triangles with repetition. Then (in pizzicato pp) - quiet clicks at the “tweezers”. Then everyone plays (sticks, triangles, pluckers). Again there are quiet plucks, then everyone plays again.

Reprise- as in part 1.

“Tools, gather yourself!”

Each child has the role of some instrument in the symphony orchestra. Children make hats in advance with a design and the name of their instrument. Everyone dances to the music, periodically interrupted by pauses. During pauses, the “instruments” should quickly gather in groups into their “houses”. Whichever group got together the fastest wins.

“Any instrument, freeze!”

Option 1. While the music is playing, children dance freely in the character and tempo of the music fragment being played. During the pause between fragments, they freeze in a pose with an imaginary instrument (guess which one!). You can play this game to any dance music, interrupting it with pauses. But with compositions from different fragments it’s more interesting!

Option 2. At each pause, the presenter names an instrument, imitating playing it - and the children must repeat and develop the demonstration. After the third or fourth performance, the presenter begins to confuse the children: she names one instrument and shows another. Children should be careful when pretending to play the named instrument (and not repeating the incorrect movements of the leader.

It's Maslenitsa! Russian festivities! And how can we not remember our original Russian folk musical instruments on this day? Therefore, I suggest that we all go to the Great Concert Hall named after Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky today for a lesson for preschool and younger children school age "In the old days in Rus'", and also talk with children about Russian folk musical instruments.

Russian folk musical instruments: about Rus' for children.

Video about Russian folk musical instruments for children.

In these wonderful educational and very beautiful music videos for children, you will see the main instruments of the orchestra of Russian folk instruments (balalaika, domra, gusli and others), learn about what kind of music was heard before folk festivals, where the word “balalaika” came from, how fair festivities and caroling took place, and much more. Enjoy watching! And thank you very much to the “My Joy” TV channel, which makes such wonderful programs for our children!

In the second part of this program for children, you will not only continue your acquaintance with famous Russian folk musical instruments and famous works for the Russian folk orchestra, but you will also learn about such little-known but very interesting folk musical instruments as “palms”, “turtle”, “kokoshnik”, as well as... ruble, saw, spoons and rattles!

It is best to watch each video separately and discuss it with your child after watching. Ask what surprised him most in the film, what new things he learned, what else he would like to know about Russian instruments. And after that, a few days later, remember again your journey into the world of Russian folk musical instruments - ask riddles. Let the child try, based on the experience gained, to guess the names of Russian folk instruments. And they will help you guess our pictures, tasks and poems. Don't rush to tell everything at once! It is quite enough to introduce your baby to 1-2 instruments at a time!

Russian folk musical instruments: riddles, poems, pictures and tasks for children.

Guess the riddle:

It has three strings
You have to pinch them with your hand,
You can dance to it
And squat in Russian. (Balalaika).

What signs of this instrument are mentioned in the riddle? (The balalaika has three strings, they are plucked by hand; this item is needed to play music).

What kind of instruments is the balalaika - strings, percussion or wind? Yes it stringed instrument. Why? (it has three strings; a melody is played on the strings).

Balaika is string plucked instrument . Why “plucked”? Remember with your child how a musician plays the balalaika.

There is another riddle about the balalaika: “It is cut out of wood, but cries in its hands.”>What other musical instruments can we say that they are “cut out of wood”? (Remember with your child the famous musical instruments made of wood - domra, guitar, violin and others)

Balalaika is a very fun instrument! The legs dance on their own. And it’s not for nothing that the name of this instrument is similar to the words “balaganit”, “to joke”, “to babble”, “to babble”, “to dabble”. What kind of person is said to be a jokester? And about whom can we say that he is “talking about”? There is an opinion among scientists that the word balalaika comes from the Tatar word “bala” - child.

Tell your child a riddle about domra:

Plays, not a guitar.
Wooden, not a violin.
Round, not a drum.
Three strings, not a balalaika.

What kind of musical instrument is this? We saw him in the video. This is domra! Here it is - look at the domra in the picture.

There is another riddle about domra:

Oh, it's ringing, it's ringing!
The game makes everyone happy
And only three strings
She needs it for music.

There are several answers to this riddle. Which? This could be the balalaika, already familiar to children, or the domra - any instrument that has three strings. Domra is a very ancient musical instrument. The children saw the domra in the video above and recognize it in the picture.

Tell your child about the domra: “The domras were played by musicians - buffoons. While the domra was playing, epics were recited.
Some scientists believe that for a very long time musicians had different domras: from the smallest one - it was called very funny, what would you call it? (Listen to the children’s suggestions) It was called “domrishka” :) Until the largest one was called “basistaya domra”. Ask the child what he thinks - what sound did the small domra have (high), and what sound did the domra have? (short)

Our Russian domra has many relatives. What kind of relatives do you and I have? List them with your baby. But what kind of relatives do the Russian domra have? Georgians have chunguri, Ukrainians have bandura, Kazakhs have dombra, Kalmyks have domra, Turkmens have dutar.”

Consider the domra with your child. How is it similar to a balalaika? (It also has three strings, and its body is also made of wood). How is the domra different from the balalaika? (The balalaika has a triangular body, while the domra has a round body - like half a ball)

It turns out that the modest Russian domra has a huge family. Georgians have chunguri, Ukrainians have bandura, Turkmen have dutar, Kyrgyz and Tatars have dumra, Kazakhs have dombra, Kalmyks have domra.

What on a visit, away from home,
Did Sadko play for the king of the sea?
That musical instrument
He broke it, seizing the moment.

Is your child familiar with the epic about Sadko? If not, then watch a wonderful film based on this epic.

The word “harp” is similar to the word “hum”, “gudba”. And their sound is like a buzz. In many epics, the harp is called “spring-shaped.” Where did this come from? strange word"vernal"? The fact is that before, a long time ago, the body of the gusli was made of sycamore wood. That’s why they were called “vernacled” or “vernacled”.

And in fairy tales, harps are often called “ringing”. Ask your child why? What other musical instruments can be called this a beautiful word– “ringing” (for example, ringing bells).

Who plays the harp? Guslyar.

Make riddles:

Screams without a tongue, sings without a throat,
It brings joy and sorrow, but the heart does not feel it. (Bell)

There is a tongue, no speeches, it gives the news. (Bell)

Bells are what kind of musical instrument - stringed, wind or percussion? What do you need to do to get musical sound? Ring the bell! So this is a percussion instrument.

There are different bells. Some bells have a tongue inside the body, just like in our mouths, only metal. And the bell body is also made of special metal. The tongue of the bell strikes the body. It makes a beautiful sound. Find the bell tongue in the picture.

And there are bells without a tongue. Ask your child to guess how a bell can sound without a tongue? What needs to be done to make it sound? Yes, you need to hit the outside of the bell and it will sound. What can you hit with? With a stick - a “beater”.

Ask your child where he saw real bells? Surely, in the bell tower!

But what if you need to depict a bell ringing in theater performance or in music? After all, you can’t bring a bell tower to a theater or concert hall? Ask your child to come up with something to replace the bells with? It turns out that this is why there are orchestra bells- a special musical instrument. These are small metal tubes or plates that hang on a crossbar. They are made to sound by striking them with a leather-covered mallet. And the result is a bell ringing. This is what orchestra bells look like.

Why does this riddle say that the accordion sometimes gets thinner and sometimes gets fatter? Ask your child to depict with his hands how the accordion is played and how the accordion stretches - it gets fatter, and how it contracts - it gets thinner.

Remember with your child the song “I play the harmonica in full view of passers-by. Unfortunately, birthdays only come once a year.” What instrument did Crocodile Gena play? Of course, on the accordion - on the accordion!

Her whole soul is wide open,
And even though there are buttons, it’s not a shirt,
Not a turkey, but pouting,
And it’s not a bird, but it’s flooding.
(Harmonic)

The riddle talks about the buttons on the accordion. What kind of buttons does the accordion have? Look carefully at the picture. Why are these buttons needed?

Invite your child to listen to another riddle about the accordion and say what the accordion is called in this riddle.

You will take her in your hands,
You stretch it, you squeeze it!
Voiced, elegant,
Russian, two-row.
It will play, just touch it,
What is her name?

What is the accordion called in this riddle - what is it? (Russian, ringing, elegant, two-row). Why is the accordion called two-row? Where are these two rows? And if there were three rows, then how could we talk about the accordion? (Let the child try to come up with the word “three-row” by analogy). And if there was one row, how would we say it? (Single row).

The accordion is a very interesting musical instrument. It is not a string instrument, nor a percussion instrument, nor a wind instrument. He keyboard-pneumatic.

Why "key"? Because it has keys - buttons. The musician presses the buttons and a sound is heard. Right hand the musician plays the melody and accompanies with his left hand.

Look at the parts of the accordion in the picture with your child. On the sides of the accordion there is a keyboard with buttons or keys. And between them is a chamber into which air is pumped. Air is pumped to the sound bars of the harmonica, and it sounds. That is why the tool is "pneumatic", invisibility-air works in it. Remember with your child what other work the invisible air does, how it helps people ( interesting material you will find what work air does)

The history of the accordion, beloved by the Russian people, is interestingly told in the TV show “The History of One Thing. Harmonic". This is a show for adults. But by showing your child individual fragments from it, you will help him see how the accordion works, what buttons are on it, hear how the accordion sounds, its modulations. You will also learn a lot about the history of the accordion in Russia.

Zhaleika, horn, flute are folk wind instruments.

And the shepherd plays on it
And collects sheep
Pew-pew-pew,
Pew-pew-pew,
We go to the shepherd. (Pipe)

A flute is a wooden pipe. On one side it has a sharp beak. There are playing holes in the pipe itself. There is also a double pipe, which consists of two paired pipes. The pipe is made from wood with soft wood - buckthorn, hazel, maple or bird cherry, willow, elderberry. The core of the tree was removed with a thin stick, and one end of the pipe was cut off. And in the pipe they usually made 6 holes, but there could be from 4 to 8 holes. So the result was a flute - a wooden pipe that shepherds played. It was also called “sopilka” in Rus'

Horn.

We gathered a round dance.
All the people were invited
And the shepherd's horn
Complements our circle.

What instrument is the horn: wind, string or percussion? Of course, the brass. Why? Of course, the child will answer that they blow into it to make sound. Indeed, wind instruments are those musical instruments in which sound is produced as a result of air vibrations in a tube.

The horn is a conical-shaped straight pipe. This pipe has five holes at the top and one hole at the bottom for playing. They blow into the pipe, pinch the playing holes with their fingers, and a sound is produced. What kind of instrument is a flute? Is it also a wind instrument or not?

There are different types of horns: Vladimir horns were played in Vladimir region. What are the names of the horns that were played in Kostroma? (Kostroma - let the child himself form this word from the word “Kostroma”). And in Yaroslavl? (Yaroslavsky). In Kursk? (Kursk).

What can you make a horn from? From birch, maple, juniper. Previously, they were made from two halves and held together with birch bark. And now lathes have appeared, and the horns are made entirely at once. The sound of the horn is very piercing and strong.

Tunes are played on a horn. There are different types of games. They sing songs to song tunes, and they can dance to dance tunes. What are signal tunes for? What kind of signals can be given using a horn? When might people need these signals? (remind the child that shepherds used to play horns. This means that with the sound of the horn the shepherd gathered the flock and guarded it)

If you want to learn more about horns, you can watch the “Craft” channel’s program about these folk instruments. This is a video for older children and adults.

Speech exercise “Orchestra”

And now that the child has become acquainted with the most famous Russian folk musical instruments, you can play with words. Ask your child to guess the name of the musician who plays this instrument.

Tasks for the game:

• A guitarist plays the guitar, but who plays the domra?... (domrist), and the button accordion? …(accordionist). Who plays the accordion?... (Harmonist). On the flute - ?... (flautist)
• What do you call a musician who plays the harp? (guslar)
• Who plays the balalaika? (balalaika player)
• Plays the drum... ? (drummer), and on the pity?... (pity). And on the pipe - ? (pipe player)

The main thing in this task is to stimulate children’s word creativity, their desire to experiment with words, and develop their linguistic sense. All children make mistakes in this task, and that’s great! If a child, for example, says, “Balalay plays the balalaika,” answer him: “Such a word could exist in Russian, but people agreed to call this musician differently. Guess how." Let the child try to come up with other words. Children can name such words as “balalaist”, “balalist” and others. Encourage your child to look for the correct option, but under no circumstances laugh at mistakes. After all, these are not mistakes, but the word creation of a child, his active search the exact word, his experimentation with language. At the end, if the child still hasn’t guessed, suggest the beginning of the word: “balala-e...” and name the correct option - “A balalaika player is playing on the balalaika.” Either way, praise your child for searching for answers.

Once again I would like to draw your attention to the fact that in this game the main thing is not the child’s memorizing the correct names of musicians’ professions, but the active search for the answer and experimenting with the word.
