Hello everyone.
This week in Counting the Beat we have been learning about orchestras. Orchestras are a large amount of instruments that are. There are four types of instruments that are commonly played in an orchestra, woodwind, brass, percussion and string.
Woodwind is an instrument where you blow into or across it. It is called woodwind because the old types of instruments that were woodwind were made out of wood.
A Brass instrument is an instruments that build up vibrating sound that travels through the tubes of the brass instrument and end up making a pleasing noise.
A percussion instrument is when a sound is made by being hit, shaken or scraped. The percussion instruments are usually the instruments that are not tuned.
String instruments make sounds by the vibrating strings that are attached on it. That is why it is called a string instrument. Though each string has different variety of sounds you can adjust these sound by tuning the strings.
Have you ever seen an orchestra before?
This is an orchestra performance I enjoyed.
Thank you for reading this blog post.
