Before March Break we were learning aboutthe different instrument families in theOrchestra. Do you remember the four main instrumentfamilies in the Orchestra? They include theBrass Family, Woodwind Family, PercussionFamily and String Family. Sometimes wealso include the Keyboard Family, but whenthis family is not included Pianos andKeyboards fall under the PercussionFamily. Explore the Instruments of the Orchestramenu, and click through the pages to learnabout the String Family, Percussion Family,Brass Family, Woodwind Family andKeyboard Family. You can also listen todifferent instruments in these families.
