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.

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.
