Welcome Hello. This is a site about the Orchestra. A school project that can also be used as a helpsote for any other pupils learning about the Orchestra.

For example, thousands of years ago a man found he could make a few notes by blowing through a hole in a hollow bone. This today is know as the flute. The modern orchestra is very large in comparison to its predecessors in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, sometimes comprising 100 or more players.
