Think you can solve a musical mystery?

In this extra-fun episode of Busy Kids Love Music, you’ll become a musical detective as we play a guessing game with four mystery instrument sounds. I’ll play you a short clip from a famous piece of music—your job is to figure out “What Was That Sound?”

Once you make your guess, I’ll reveal the answer and share some fascinating facts about the instrument, including:

• The fastest-fingered member of the string family
• The tallest instrument in the orchestra
• The woodwind with a delightfully sneaky tone
• The percussion star that keeps an entire piece marching along

To make it even more fun, I’ve created a free printable worksheet that you can use to write down your guesses. This is a perfect at-home, in-the-car, or classroom activity to sharpen your listening skills—and you can even quiz your family and friends afterward.

Plus, I’ve put together a playlist of the full-length versions of all the music featured in today’s game, so you can enjoy each piece from start to finish.

Listen now and put your musical ears to the test!
