ORCHESTRA - Counting the beat

 This week we have been learning about orchestra's and different other instruments that are played in an orchestra, an orchestra is a group of instruments that typically play classical music, we also got to look at the type of instrument in person as well, which was really cool. I will show you some pictures and what the instruments are about...

The woodwind, Woodwinds  are a type of musical instrument that make their own sound when someone blows air into or across the mouthpiece. They get their name from the fact that most of them were once made of wood. Today many are made of other materials such as metal or plastic

The brass instrument is like a trumpet but it has a vibration noise to it, then the air goes in a tube that blows the air out of it to make the humming vibration noise,and you also have to use you're lips as well.  

A string instrument is a musical instrument that makes sound by vibrating the strings on it. The strings are pulled to make sounds. Each string has a different noise that it plays. To make a sound you have to obtain by adjusting the strength on the string. A string instrument plays soft notes.         


Here are the pictures of the instrument that I have stated down...
