The document introduces and describes several musical instruments from different families. It discusses the trumpet, maraca, snare drum, triangle, flute and their characteristics. The instruments are classified into four main families: strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion. Strings are plucked or bowed and include violin, cello and double bass. Woodwinds produce sound through blowing and include piccolo, flute and oboe. Brass instruments are also blown and made of metal such as trumpet, trombone and tuba. Percussion instruments make sound through striking, shaking or rubbing and include timpani, snare drum and maracas.

musical instrument in the

The flute is a member of a family of
musical instruments in the woodwind

aerophones, producing sound with a
vibrating column of air. Unlike
woodwind instruments with reeds, a
flute produces sound when the
player's air flows across an opening.
