About this word search

Crotchet, Quaver and Semibreve are the British names for note lengths, where American musicians say quarter note, eighth note and whole note. The Treble clef sits at the start of the stave and tells you which notes the lines stand for.

Glockenspiel comes from the German for bell play, and Ukulele from a Hawaiian word often translated as jumping flea.

Glockenspiel and Double bass are long anchors in an eighteen by eighteen grid where every direction is used. The X in Xylophone and the Q in Quaver stand out quickly.
