1. Orchestra instruments

2. Percussion instruments
Percussion: Instrument designed to make a unique noises when hitting with a stick or hand.
Mallet: Stick- causes instrument to vibrate and make a noise.
Idiophones: Without membrane- instrument itself is made to vibrate- triangle, castanets, maracas and xylophone.
Membranophones: Drums- stretched membrane or drum head covering a hollow shell- bongo, and a timpani.
Rhythm: percussion instrument are in charge of this. Drum support the musical piece and keeps time.
Bear(in music): heart beat of song-steady and continues.

3. Brass instrument
Wind instrument: Any thin instrument played by blowing through it.
Purse(verb): To play a brass instrument your lips have to be pursed to create a kind of buzzing noise.
Vibrate: lips do this. Hold lips together tightly to make high pitched buzz, relaxed your lips to make a low pitch buzz.
Pitch(in music): the longer the tube is the lower the pitch is, it also depends on the tubes width.
Brass: instrument are made from brass like the saxophone but it doesn’t belong to the brass family.
Tone ( in music): buzzing lips against mouthpiece causes the tube and air inside it to vibrate creating a clear tone.

4. Woodwind instrument
Woodwind: These instrument are not all made out of wood, but require wind to make a noise. They basically tubes with holes along it. Flutes, saxophone, oboes and clarinets are all woodwind instrument.
Mouthpiece: To make music air is blown into the instrument through this, also a reed. These types of instrument would be able to be played without this.
Reed: If the woodwind instrument has reed, it is of ten made out of bamboo (a type of wood). It is the vibrating air produced inside the instrument blown through the reed within the mouthpiece, that makes a sound.
edge -blown : clarinets and saxophones are these types of instrument. Air is blown over and edge in the mouthpiece.
The single and the double reed are different because the single reed is thin than the double reed and it is on flutes and recorder and the double reed is more thicker than the single reed and its on a Oboe.

5. String instrument
Plucked: When string is flicked with thumb, fingers or a small piece of plastic. Guitar has a neck. Pitch changed by pressing on the neck in different places, uses this technique.
Struck: Within the piano when a key is pressed a felt covered hammer hits one of the string produced a sound lower pitch strings are long and thick and higher pitch is short and are thin. Each string has its own pitch.
Bowed: The technique is when the string is rubbed over and playing using a bow. Orchestra instrument –violin, viola, cello and double bass from highest to lowest pitch.
Lyre: The oldest kind of instrument which was popular with ancient Greeks. A harp is also another stringed instrument that has been around for a long time, they can be large or tiny and which was popular with the ancient Greek.
Resonator : Strings are almost , always joined onto this, a hollow structure usually made out of wood or metal. It applies the sound waves from vibrating string making the sound louder and fuller and the body of the instrument.
