Instruments of the orchestra
The largest group within the orchestra is comprised of instruments that produce sound from vibrating strings. The vibrations – resulting from the strings being played by a bow, or being plucked with the fingers – resonate within the body of each instrument. The violin, viola, cello and contrabass are all primary played with a bow. The harp is plucked and stroked with the hands. Principals from the All-Star Orchestra introduce the special qualities and histories of each instrument.

What homeschoolers say about Khan Academy
Homeschoolers widely appreciate Khan Academy for its extensive free resources covering a broad range of subjects and grade levels, including test prep and advanced topics. Many praise its clear video lessons and interactive exercises that allow self-paced learning. However, some families find the platform less structured and requiring significant parental oversight to ensure consistent progress. Additionally, while the content quality is generally high, a few users note that the presentation can feel dry or overly academic for younger learners. Overall, Khan Academy is valued for accessibility and depth but may need supplementation for a fully rounded homeschool curriculum.
