Instrument Orbit

What students practice

Students practice identifying instrument families, strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion, by matching each instrument capsule to its correct docking bay.

How to play

Players press keys 1 through 4 to spin that bay under the capsule, or steer the ring with the Left/Right arrows and dock with Space; docking in the wrong bay bounces the capsule off and shows its real family, and losing one costs a shield.

Teacher Setup

Teacher Setup lets a teacher choose which families are in play, with closed families sealed off, and what each capsule shows; the end screen offers a printable list of instruments, with their families, to practice.
