What is brass instrument and family?

Answer 1

Brass instruments are played by pressing the lips together and blowing air to produce a buzzing sound. A mouthpiece projects this sound into the horn, which projects it further. The pitch of the sound can be changed two ways. One is by changing the pitch of the buzz. This will only get you a certain number of notes based on the key of your instrument (harmonic series). The other way is by lengthening your instrument. The longer the lower. On a Trombone, it's easy to see. You push out the slide, the pitch goes down. On valve instruments, it's a bit more complicated. Pressing a valve opens a passageway so that the air can take a detour. Pressing a certain valve lowers the pitch a certain amount and you can get all the notes you want with different combinations of valves. On a trombone, it's simply how far you push out the slide.

Answer 2

To make a note on a brass instrument you buzz your lips into the mouthpiece of the instrument. The tighter your lips, the higher you play. On most brass instruments you use between 3 and 4 valves, which alter the length of the tube, changing the pitch. On a trombone however you use a telescopic tube called a slide to do so.
