The orchestra is divided into 4 "families" of instruments. Strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion. String instruments include violins, violas, cellos, and double basses. Woodwind instruments include flutes, oboes, clarinets, and bassoons. Brass instruments include trumpets, french horns, trombones, and tuba Percussion instruments include snare drum, bass drum, timpani, gong, triangle, tambourine, cymbals, xylophone, and chimes. Each family has it's own responsibility in creating the sound of the orchestra.
