“Jackson Avenue”

This song describes a 10-piece jazz band called The Hot Dogs of Dixieland. Do you know which instruments make up this band? Hint: Check out the lyrics to this song and the notes below the lyrics. (These notes are called liner notes. They contain interesting information about the making of this CD!)

Once you have identified the instruments, you can either draw them or find pictures of them on the Internet and paste them in the frame below. Two great sites to find out about musical instruments are: www.zoomschool.com/music/instruments/ [2] and www.pbs.org/jazz/beat/ [3] . You might also try www.google.com [4]. Click on Images and type in the instruments you want to see pictures of. Have fun!
