Hi year 7 welcome back for Term 2. This term we are going to be learning about instruments and the families they belong to.
Traditional musical instruments are divided up into many different families. There are four main categorizations
- Percussion
- Strings
- Woodwind
- Brass
Then later we will talk about others like
Vocals and digital that don't really fall into these categories

Brass Family

Woodwind
This week we are looking at the wood wind Family. The Woodwind Family contains instruments that were traditionally constructed from wood. Now many of the instruments in this family, such as the flute (for example), are made from other materials. One instrument that is particularly confusing to categorise is the saxophone because the saxophone is made from brass but it is a woodwind instrument.
Fundamentally, woodwind instruments are defined as an instrument that is played by blowing air past a sharp edge such as a reed or metal hole (in a flute) the causes air particles to vibrate
Extra - lets have a go at making some woodwind type instruments
Other - Vocals

Week 9
I absolutely love this post about music instruments! It's great to see such a wide variety of instruments being highlighted, from traditional ones like the piano and guitar to more unique ones like the harp and didgeridoo. It's always inspiring to see the different ways that people can express themselves through music and these instruments provide endless possibilities. It's also great to see the history and cultural significance of each instrument being discussed. Overall, this is a fantastic resource for anyone interested in learning more about the world of music and the instruments that make it possible. I also remember that the Music Production Courses In India for providing a professional service similar to this.
