Meet The Instruments

Meet the Instruments of the Orchestra! A collaboration between Portland Columbia Symphony & In A World Music Kids featuring the Nirks®. This 16-part series introduces young listeners to the instruments of the orchestra through fun and engaging songs, stories, and personalities! The Nirks have been wanting to start their own orchestra at castle Nirkenstein for ages. Now, thanks to the help of their new friends from Portland Columbia Symphony, they can! Join the Nirks on their musical journey through the orchestra. The Nirks give you an up close and personal look at each of their instruments with their professional musician teachers from Portland Columbia Symphony. This 16-part series includes our theme song, “Meet the Instruments," and 15 episodes featuring a different musical instrument.  The series finishes with our conductor episode and an epic performance with both Portland Columbia Symphony and The Nirks® performing together! This series is a great way to introduce young kids (and kids at heart) to all of the musical instruments that make up a symphony orchestra. A wonderful homeschool, or classroom tool to help kids learn about each instrument that makes up an orchestra and get excited about learning how to play music. Join the Nirks and Portland Columbia Symphony for Meet the Instruments!  The sheet music for Orchestral Fanfare and Duets is available for live performance, too!
