Classifying Musical Instruments, a Module for First Grade Students

This module aims to teach first-grade students about the classification of musical instruments through an interactive and engaging learning experience. The module includes pre and post-tests, quizzes, observation, and discussions. The results from the pilot study were inconclusive, but the students expressed positive feedback and an increased interest in musical instruments. Future plans include adding more features to enhance interaction and continuing research for more conclusive results.
