Visit the Orchestra

Canada’s National Arts Centre created ArtsAlive Music, artsalive.ca/en/mus/ index.asp, to introduce you to orchestral music and its composers. Step into the Instrument Lab and learn about each section that makes up the orchestra. Next, meet the Great Composers, including Beethoven, Handel and Mozart. Keep this site in mind as a resource for school projects. How well do you know your composers? Check out Activities and Games, where you can Compose Music, Name the Composer, play games and take quizzes based on your favorites. Learn about the Young Artists Program from a student’s perspective in Music Resources.
