This document summarizes several brass instruments - trumpet, horn, trombone, and tuba. It describes their basic characteristics such as their register (high, medium, low), origins, and typical uses in music. The trumpet is described as the highest brass instrument with a bright sound. The horn and trombone have medium to low registers and massive, penetrating sounds. The tuba has the largest dimensions and deepest sound. Jazz music, which originated in the US in the early 20th century, drew from the spirituals and work songs of black slaves expressing their feelings and nostalgia for Africa.
