Orchestra: Cody's Information Report
An orchestra is a group of people playing music. The instrument families are called brass, woodwind, percussion and strings.
One of the orchestra families is called the string instruments. The string instruments are played by rubbing the bow on the strings and can also be plucked.
Another family of instruments is called the percussion. They are played by being struck or hit. My favourite one is the snare drum.
The bassoon is in the woodwind family. Originally all woodwind instruments were made from wood. To play woodwind instruments you have to blow into the mouth piece.
Lastly there is the brass family they are made of metal.
When these instruments are played together they make lovely music.

Great story Cody. You have a good understanding of the different parts of the orchestra. The snare drum is a good instrument. What category do you think a guitar would be in if it was part of an orchestra?
ReplyDeleteCody that is so cool I didn't know that the orchestra had instrument families and they are called brass, woodwind, percussion and strings.
ReplyDeleteThat was a great way you explained the different orchestra families.
Great work :)
Awesome Story Cody. There is a instrument that you want at the moment that belongs to the woodwind family. Is this correct?
