DSO Kids (Dallas Symphony)

This site goes through all the instruments  individually, in the orchestra or you can hear the instrument play twinkle twinkle - which is great for comparisons. It gives a description and a ‘real’ picture of the instrument. You can also play games and look at composers and much more.
