The ukulele is commonly associated with various ensembles, particularly in Hawaiian music, where it plays a central role. It is often featured in small groups, such as acoustic bands or folk ensembles, and can also be found in larger settings like orchestras and concert bands as a unique addition. Additionally, the ukulele is popular in solo performances and can accompany singers or other instruments in various genres.
The xylophone in percussion ensembles provides a melodic and rhythmic element, adding a bright and distinct sound to the overall music. It often plays melodies and accents, enhancing the complexity and texture of the ensemble's performance.
Concert bands and marching bands use many clarinets. The clarinet section is typically the largest section of a concert band. They are one of the lead voices of the woodwind section and are often used in place of the violins in transcriptions of orchestral music. Marching bands also use clarinets, but because they are not as loud as brass instruments, they are often used to play high ornamental parts. For main melody or harmony lines, the clarinet is used in softer sections or to double brass parts when a smoother sound is wanted. Rock and pop bands rarely use clarinets, but clarinets are often found in jazz combos and ensembles. In the days of the big bands (1930's in to the 1950's) Benny Goodman and Arie Shaw played the clarinet and led their bands.
