An orchestra is where a group of people
play instruments. There are four types of instrument families called the
strings, brass, woodwind and percussion
. One of the orchestra families is the
string instruments. The string instruments are played by using a bow or
plucking the strings. My favourite string instrument is the harp.
Another
family of instruments is called percussion. They are played by being hit or
shaken. My favourite percussion instrument is xylophone.
The flute is in the
woodwind family. Originally all woodwind instruments were made from wood. To
play a woodwind instrument you blow into the mouth piece.
Last of all is the
brass family. The instruments in this family are made from shiny metal. When these instruments are played
together they make beautiful music.
