Musical quiz questions. Music Quiz Questions on Instruments

How to increase interest in knowledge in our age? How to instill in children a desire to know more and more? These questions undoubtedly concern every teacher. It is gratifying that interesting programs for developing the mind have begun to appear on television, but they are not enough. Therefore, I believe that it is necessary, using various forms, to play the erudite. I would like to see our students as smart and witty children. Let them show off their talent and their knowledge of music.

This is not the first time that a musical game has been held at our school. It can be carried out during the school subject ten-day period, at the end of the topic of the semester or year. In this article I offer an example of a musical game “What? Where? When?" on the topic “In the world of musical instruments” for 7th grade students.

Goals and objectives:

• Expand your understanding of musical instruments;
• encourage students to independently acquire knowledge in the field of music; help to demonstrate your own erudition and ingenuity, as well as creative abilities;
• contribute to the formation of the spiritual culture of schoolchildren, the development of communicative qualities of the individual.

Lesson equipment: screen, projector, envelopes with questions, playing field, spinning top, images of musical instruments, paper, markers, table with scores, “black box”.

Characters: presenter, team of “experts”, team of “TV viewers”. The teacher acts as a presenter, selects a team of “experts” (5-6 people), the rest of the students act as “TV viewers”, participate in the game and comment on the questions. Students who independently prepared questions included in the game also take places among the “TV viewers.”

Opening remarks by the presenter: Dear guys! Today's meeting will be unusual. We will hold a musical game “What? Where? When?". And it will be dedicated to musical instruments, which you already know a lot about thanks to music lessons and MHC, as well as independent acquaintance with them.

One of the outstanding guitarists of the last century once compared musical instruments to islands in the ocean of music. He considered the guitar his island. I will be happy if our meeting today helps you not only to navigate well in this sea and islands, but also to find your island in the ocean of sounds.

And now I will ask the team of experts to take their places at the gaming table.

(Musical intro: “What is our life?.. A game!”)

Host: Dear experts, I remind you that 12 envelopes with questions from our “TV viewers” ​​are laid out on the playing field. For one correct answer, the team receives 1 point. The count goes up to 6 points. Choose a team captain.

So, let's start the game!

(A gong is heard, which will sound before each round in the future. The team captain spins the top and selects one of the envelopes).

Round 1.

Presenter: In one minute you need to write in the frames the names of the musical instruments played by the heroes of books and fairy tales. ( Annex 1)

Answer: Orpheus played the cithara, Lel played the flute, Bayan and Sadko played the gusli, Sherlock Holmes played the violin, Gena the Crocodile played the accordion, Dunno played the tuba, Kobzar played the kobza.

Presenter: Attention to the screen. Dear experts, in 1 minute you must name the instrument shown on the screen, tell what material it is made of and how it is played. (Appendices 2, 3)

Answer: These are bagpipes. The air reservoir (fur, bag) is made of goatskin or calfskin, sometimes from an animal's bladder. Several tubes are inserted into it. Through one, air is pumped into the bag and it inflates like a balloon. Other tubes play sounds that accompany the melody. The sounds go on continuously, because... The piper holds the instrument under his arm and presses his elbow towards him.

Host: Different types of art have their own symbols, emblems, etc. You can see some of them on the screen (Appendix 4).

Dear experts, do you know what the emblem of musical art is? Draw it on paper in 1 minute.

Answer: This is a picture of a lyre. ( Appendix 5)

Presenter: Dear experts, here is an ancient manuscript of the 11th century (Appendix 6). In 1 minute you have to guess the riddle - what do these signs mean?

Answer: This ancient manuscript depicts the symbols of the medieval music notation system. These are neuromas. They indicate the ascending and descending movement of the melody, without determining the exact pitch of the sounds. From neumas later musical notations emerged.

Presenter: Attention! Listen to a piece of music. (Sounds “Habanera” by M. Ravel)

Composer M. Ravel commissioned the trumpet to perform this beautiful melody. Attention, question: name the object thanks to which the musician performing this melody achieves such a soft, “velvety” trumpet sound?

Answer: This item is a mute, which is inserted into the bell of a wind instrument. Thanks to this, its sound becomes muffled and soft.

Host: Look at the screen (Appendix 7). This musical instrument has existed for more than 2000 years. He alone can replace the choral and instrumental chapel. It is played with hands and even feet on special keyboards. In the hands of one performer it is a whole brass band. Attention, question: One of the journalists wrote about the organ that it is “wise, secretive and lonely.” Explain what he meant?

Answer: The organ is “wise” because it has absorbed the culture of thousands of years; “lonely” because it is the only keyboard-wind instrument; “hidden” because it cannot be seen in its entirety (we can only see its façade).

Question: What musical instrument did the family of Italian craftsmen named Stradivari become famous for making?

Answer: Violin.

Host: At different times, different nations called musicians differently. Take a look at this list (Appendix 8). Question: who is not a musician here? Cross out the extra:

Answer: A clown is not a musician .

Host: Dear experts, take a look at the screen. Here is an image of a hunting horn ( Appendix 9). It was blown as a signal during a hunt, army gathering, or some special event. In order for the sound to be heard over a long distance, the hunting horn had a huge length, sometimes 6-8 meters. It was extremely inconvenient to blow it. Attention, question: What solution did the musicians find, and what was the name of the new musical instrument?

Answer: A long hunting horn was “twisted” to form a French horn. (An image of a French horn appears on the screen. ( Appendix 10)

Host: You probably know the ancient Greek myth about the “musical competition” between Apollo and Pan. Let me remind you of it:

The god of the forests, Pan, challenged the god Apollo himself to a “musical competition.” After the gentle sounds of Pan's pipe, Apollo struck the golden strings of his cithara. The majestic sounds of his divine music flowed, a melody of wondrous beauty began to sound... When Apollo finished playing, the gods awarded him victory, and the saddened Pan retired into the thicket of the forests...

Thus, the ancient Greeks found that among all musical instruments, string instruments have the most beautiful, expressive, and most exciting sound.

Now attention question: Dear experts, tell me, how did the very first plucked string instrument come into being?

Answer: The first plucked string instrument arose from a hunting bow. As he pulled the bowstring, the hunter heard a pleasant, slowly fading sound. This is how the first plucked string instrument was born.

Presenter: Attention! Bring in the “black box”! (A “black box” is brought in to the music. It contains the following items: a comb, tissue paper, a tin jar, several peas, 2 pot lids, 2 wooden spoons). Dear experts, you need to build homemade musical instruments within 1 minute and demonstrate the sound of an “orchestra”.

Answer: experts demonstrate the sound of an “orchestra” - spoons, rattles, cymbals, harmonica.

Host: You have a Blitz tournament. Listen to the sound of a piece of music. (The play “Penzer Mystery” is performed by the Nenets ensemble “Syrasev”).

1. Name the musical instrument that played the music.
2. Explain its structure.
3. Who in Yamal was the direct owner of this musical instrument and why?

Answers:

Leading. Let's summarize our game. (Draws attention to the table with the score). There were no winners in our game today. The score is equal. Game over.

I hope you enjoyed it, because the game was not only informational, but also creative. I hope that the knowledge gained in this game will continue in your life. Thank you all for your participation. See you!

Progress of the game

Teacher: Dear Guys! Today's test lesson on the topic “In the World of Musical Instruments” will be unusual. We will hold a musical game called “What? Where? When?"

One of the outstanding guitarists of the last century once compared musical instruments to islands in the ocean of music. He considered the guitar his island. I will be happy if our meeting today helps you not only to navigate well in this sea and islands, but also to find your island in the ocean of sounds.

And now I will ask you to split into two teams: the team of “experts No. 1” and the “team of experts No. 2” and take their places at the gaming tables.

(Musical intro: “What is our life?.. A game!”)

Teacher: Dear teams, envelopes with questions are laid out on the playing field. We need to answer everything with you. For a correct answer, the team receives 1 point. Questions will be asked to teams in turn. If one team does not answer a question, the other team is given the right to answer the same question. Let's play until 6 points. At the end of the game we will see who has the most points and see which team of Experts knows more.

So, let's start the game!

(A gong is heard, which will sound before each round in the future. The team captain spins the top and selects one of the envelopes).

Round 1.

Teacher: So, round 1.

You are given encrypted musical instruments, your task is to guess and write the instrument within a minute, determine which family it belongs to, and tell its structure.

Round 2.

Teacher: The names of the instruments are given on the cards in front of you.

Question: Which family does each line with tools belong to and the missing tools need to be added.

FLUTE, CLARNET, BASSON ….(oboe)

TAMBERS, PLAYS, CASTANETS... (drum)

Trumpet, French Horn, Tuba... (trombone)

VIOLIN, DOUBLE BASS, CELLO …(alto)

Timpani, bells, bells …(xylophone)

Round 3.

Teacher : Different types of art have their own symbols, emblems, etc. You can see some of them.

Teacher : Dear experts, do you know what the emblem of musical art is? Draw it on paper in 1 minute.

Answer: This is a picture of a lyre.

Round 4. Quiz.

Teacher: You have received a quick survey, which consists of 3 tasks. The team needs to answer all three questions. If a team finds it difficult, the right to answer passes to the other team.

1 task: This term in Ancient Greece was translated as “a platform in front of the stage on which the choir sang while making movements.” What is this term? And what does it mean now?

Answer: An orchestra is a group of people playing instruments that convey the overall concept of the work.

2 task:

Nowadays the person who runs the orchestra is called a conductor. What was such a person called in the Middle Ages? What function did it perform? What was their symbol?

Answer: called masters, proctors, cantors.

Task 3: What is the name of the advance command given by the conductor? Why is it needed?

Answer: auftakt.

Teacher : So, the winners of round 4 are...

Round 5.

Teacher : Are the statements true, if not, correct them:

There are four groups of instruments in a symphony orchestra.

The group of string instruments includes: violin, cello, harp, viola.

In the family of woodwind instruments, the lowest sounding one is the contrabassoon.

Brass instruments include: trumpet, horn, tuba, trombone.

A drum is a percussion instrument with a certain pitch of sound.

Woodwinds include: flute, oboe, horn, clarinet.

Round 6.

Teacher : Look for errors in the placement of tools. (cards are handed out)

Round 7.

Teacher : Dear experts, take a look at the screen. Here is an image of a hunting horn. It was blown as a signal during a hunt, army gathering, or some special event. In order for the sound to be heard over a long distance, the hunting horn had a huge length, sometimes 6-8 meters. It was extremely inconvenient to blow it.

Attention, question: What solution did the musicians find, and what was the name of the new musical instrument?

Answer: A long hunting horn was twisted to form a French horn. (Image of a French horn appears)

Round 8.

Teacher : In one minute you need to unravel musical instruments based on the following characteristics:

Shipkovo-strings, epics, folk, ringing... (harp)

Three-string, triangular, Russian, dance, Osipov... (balalaika)

Three-string, pear-shaped, buffoons, Andreev... (domra)

wooden, gaming, Russian... (spoons)

To which family can all these instruments be classified?

Round 9.

Teacher : Attention to the screen. Dear experts, in 1 minute you must name the instrument shown on the screen, tell what material it is made of and how it is played.

Answer: This is bagpipes. The air reservoir (fur, bag) is made of goatskin or calfskin, sometimes from an animal's bladder. Several tubes are inserted into it. Through one, air is pumped into the bag and it inflates like a balloon. Other tubes play sounds that accompany the melody. The sounds go on continuously, because... The piper holds the instrument under his arm and presses his elbow towards him.

Round 10.

Teacher : Not all tools were easy for manufacturers, some were constantly improved, and some were completely forgotten for some time.

Attention question: Which instrument and why, after some time, was restored by Andreev?

Answer: domra, was burned, later restored by Andreev.

Round 11. “Black Box”!

Teacher : Attention! " black box"! (The “black box” is brought in to the music)

Dear experts, in the black box there are instruments, or rather their images, which you need to guess by sound.

After hearing the fragment, name the instrument and describe its structure.

(sound of oboe, flute, harpsichord, horn, celesta, balalaika)

Round 12.

Teacher : Look at the screen. This musical instrument has existed for more than 2000 years. He alone can replace the choral and instrumental chapel. It is played with hands and even feet on special keyboards. In the hands of one performer it is a whole brass band.

Attention, question: One of the journalists wrote about the organ that it is “wise, secretive and lonely.” Explain what he meant?

Answer: The organ is “wise” because it has absorbed the culture of millennia; “lonely” because it is the only keyboard-wind instrument; “hidden” because it cannot be seen in its entirety (we can only see its façade).

Teacher : So, let's summarize our game. Let's find the best team. Who was the best expert on the team? (grading). Our lesson has come to an end.

I hope you enjoyed it, because the game was not only informational, but also creative. I hope that the knowledge gained in this game will continue in your life. Thank you all for your participation. See you!
