Sound itself is vibrations in the air that are perceived as sound by the ear. Instruments are created as vehicles for the generation and amplification of those vibrations. When one hits a drum, the head of the drum vibrates, causing vibrations in the air that are perceived by the ear as sound. If you place your hand on the drumhead to stop the vibrations, the sound stops. When one plays a Trombone, his lips buzz (vibrate) into the mouthpiece and that sound is amplified by resonance within the instrument. When a guitar string is plucked, the vibration of the string causes vibrations in the air that are perceived as sound.

Noise is made when a gas is submitted to a vibrating part of the instrment ie. a string or reed. It is carried as a percussion wave and is heard when it vibrates your eardrum.

Instruments make sound by a person blowing through the mouthpiece, causing vibration. It's just the physics of Science.

In reed instruments such as the Clarinet, the vibrations of the reed makes the sound. In brass instruments such as the Trumpet, the vibration of your lips produces sound.

Brass and wind instruments make sound by vibrating strings?

FALSE.


What are the main groups of instruments?

Percussion - example - Drums: these instruments are struck with something such as the hand, or a stick or hammer to make the sound. Woodwind- Example - Clarinet: these instruments have a reed to vibrate to make the sound. Brass- example - Trumpet: these instruments make sound by the vibrating lips of the player. String - example - violin : these instruments have strings that rubbed with a bow or plucked to make a sound There are also electronic instruments such as the theremin and one might consider the human voice to be an instrument.

What are the similarities and differences between wind and brass instruments?

One difference is that woodwind instruments use a wooden reed to form the mouthpiece. The reed sits at the back of the mouthpiece (on the bottom lip) and vibrates against the rest of the mouthpiece to help create the sound. Brass and woodwind instruments are both played by blowing into them (or over them in the case of the flute). Brass instruments do not have any moving parts that vibrate to create a sound. They merely amplify the sound created by the players lips vibrating. Woodwind instruments have a reed that vibrates except for the flute which splits a column of air to make vibrations. Brass instruments change their pitch by changing the length of tubing which the air passes through. Woodwind instruments change their pitch by changing the where the air escapes from the instrument.
