A The Four Families of Instruments
Musical instruments are usually divided into four main groups, or "families". These are string instruments, beat instruments, keyboard instruments, and wind instruments. Each family produces sound in a different way.
String instruments produce sound when the strings vibrate. The vibrations are passed to the body of the instrument, which makes the sound louder. Violins, cellos, guitars, and harps are all string instruments. They are often used in orchestras and bands.
Beat instruments, also called percussion instruments, make sound when they are hit, shaken, or scraped. Drums are the most common example. Other beat instruments include cymbals and tambourines. They keep the rhythm in music.
Keyboard instruments produce sound when the player presses keys. The piano is the most famous keyboard instrument. When you press a key, a hammer hits a string inside the piano, producing a note. Organs and harpsichords are also keyboard instruments.
Wind instruments produce sound when the player blows air into them. The air vibrates inside the instrument. Trumpets, flutes, clarinets, and saxophones are wind instruments. They are often used in bands and orchestras.
