Middle Ages Music and ImagesSlide4
As time went on instruments developed more and more.
In the Classical time period the instruments become a little more refined.
Slightly more modern piano
More sophisticated flutes.
Brass instruments were
also improved upon.Slide5

Instrument Families
Instruments are grouped into families of similar sound or method of playing.
For example: Percussion instruments are struck,
where woodwinds are blown into through a reed.
There are 5 main families of instruments
* Strings
*Woodwinds
*Brass
*Percussion
*KeyboardsSlide7
STRING FAMILY
String instruments produce sound through the vibrating of a string. String instruments can be plucked or bowed.
Name some string Instruments:
violin
double bass
Ukulele
viola
guitar
mandolin
cello
banjo
harp
electric bassSlide8
STRING FAMILYSlide9
STRING FAMILY
Classical String Instruments: Typically used in orchestral music
Violin – the smallest and highest pitched
Viola – slightly larger than a violin and a little
lower in pitch.
Cello – large and required the instrumentalist
to be seated to play. The pitch is even
lowerDouble Bass- the lowest pitch of the classical
string instruments, you must stand while playing the double bass
Trivia question:
Which classical string instrument is also sometimes used in a Jazz Ensemble?
Double BassSlide10
String Quartet
String quartets were very popular during the time of Mozart
String quartets consisted of 2 violins, 1 viola, and 1 cello

WOODWIND FAMILY
A woodwind instrument produces sound when the player blows air against a sharp edge or through a reed, causing the air within its resonator (usually a column of air) to vibrate. Most of these instruments are made of wood but can be made of other materials, such as metals or plastics.
Single reeds are used for clarinets and saxophones
There are some instruments in the woodwind family
that do not use a reed. Can you guess which one?Slide14
WOODWINDS
Some woodwind instruments have double reeds
Oboe
Bassoon
ContrabassoonSlide15
WOODWINDS
Saxophone Family
Like the Classical String Instruments there are also varying pitched saxophones.
Soprano Saxophone
Alto Saxophone
Tenor Saxophone
Baritone SaxophoneSlide16
WOODWINDS
Flute Family
Although we are used to seeing two types of flutes, there are many different sized of flutes. The size differences change the high or low sounds of the instruments.
Piccolo- the highest sounding flute
Standard flute – mid to high range
Alto flute – lower in sound and larger
Bass flute – is the lowest and largest of the flutesSlide17

BRASS
A brass instrument is a musical instrument whose sound is produced by vibration of air in a tubular resonator in sympathy with the vibration of the player's lips.
Standard mouth piece for a trumpetSlide19
BRASS
Low Brass Instruments
Tuba – lowest sound
Euphonium –
slightly higher sound
Baritone – the highest
of the low brass
Trombone – like the baritone, it’s the highest of the low brass instrumentsSlide20
BRASS
High brass instruments
Standard Trumpet
mid-high range
Piccolo trumpet
highest range
Flugelhorn
mid-low range
French horn
mid-low rangeSlide21
BRASS
How do they work?
The player buzzes air into the mouthpiece and pushes on valves to change the pitch.
The more tubing, the lower the sound. The smaller the tubing, the higher the sound.
Each brass instrument has it’s own mouthpiece.Slide22
BRASS
Valves vs. Slides
Almost all Brass instruments use valves to change pitch, but some use a slide.

Brass Quintets
A Brass Quintet consists of 2 trumpets, 1 french horn, 1 trombone, and 1 tuba

PERCUSSION
A percussion instrument is any object which produces a sound when hit with an implement or when it is shaken, rubbed, scraped, or otherwise acted upon in a way that sets the object into vibration. Slide27
PERCUSSION
Percussion instruments vary in size, style, colors, and material. Slide28
PERCUSSION
Percussion instruments are classified into 4 major areas.
Idiophone – sound is made through vibrations of the entire body.
Membranophone – sound is made when the membrane head is struck.
Chordophone – a pitched sound is made when struck.
Aerophone – sound is made when air is blown through.Slide29
PERCUSSION
Idiophones and Membranophones are the most common types of percussion instruments used.
IdiophonesSlide30
PERCUSSION
Membranophone
The skin stretched over the head of a drum is called a membrane.
This is what vibrates to make the sound.Slide31
PERCUSSION
Mallets are used to strike a percussion instrument, either idiophone or membranophone
There are soft mallets
There are hard mallets
Soft mallets typically have felt or yarn to make the contact softer
Hard mallets are typically made of wood or hard plastic. Drum sticks are like mallets, they are hard wood.Slide32

KEYBOARDS
A keyboard instrument is any musical instrument played using a musical keyboard. The most common of these is the piano. Other widely used keyboard instruments include organs of various types as well as other mechanical, electromechanical and electronic instrumentsSlide37
KEYBOARDS
Keyboard instruments have a standard keyboard of white and black keys for each note on the staff.
There are differences between the keyboard instruments and how the sound is produced.
For example, a piano has hammers.
An organ uses air pumped through pipes.Slide38
KEYBOARDS
Inside of the piano
Just like all instruments, the shorter and thinner strings are the higher pitches.
The thicker and longer strings are the lower sounds.
The piano key is pressed and a hammer in the inside is moved forward or down to hit the string.Slide39
KEYBOARDS
Organs and how they work.
An organ uses air through pipes to make sound.
When a key is pressed, it releases air into the pipe.Slide40
KEYBOARDS
The first organs had to have air pumped into them.
It was the responsibility of the performer to pump air into it with their feet.Slide41
