The FLUTE belongs to the 'Woodwind' family of instruments. It is played by blowing a stream of air over an opening - like you could do on a soda bottle!
The TRUMPET belongs to the 'Brass' family of instruments. Like all brass instruments, sound is made by buzzing your lips. The trumpet can transform your buzzing lips into beautiful music!
The TROMBONE belongs to the 'Brass' family of instruments. The trombone is the only woodwind or brass instrument that has no buttons! The trombone uses a 'slide' to change from one note to the next.
The PERCUSSION family encompasses many different instruments! From drums (snare drum, bass drum), to keyboards (marimba, vibraphone, xylophone), to auxiliary (tambourine, triangle, crash cymbals, gong), the percussionists get the chance to play many different instruments!
