What words are hidden in this music word search?
Twelve fun music words in a 12x12 grid: guitar, piano, drums, violin, trumpet, melody, rhythm, orchestra, saxophone, concert, singer and jazz. They hide in all eight directions, so words also run diagonally and backwards. ORCHESTRA and SAXOPHONE are the nine letter anchors; JAZZ, four letters with a double Z, is often the sneaky last find.
Music you can hunt for
No sheet music to read and no notes to name. This list is the fun side of music: the drums the neighbours regret, the trumpet that announces breakfast, the singer who never misses a shower concert. It plays well from about age 8 upward, and it makes a good warm-up before band practice or a long car ride with the radio on.
