How does a brass instrument make noise?
Brass instruments are different from all the other instruments in that the person playing is solely responsible for the sound of the instrument. Brass instruments require the player to buzz their lips in the mouthpiece. This sound reverberates throughout the instrument and produces the sound that comes out of it. This differs from other instruments, where the player makes part of the instrument vibrate (i.e. reed, string, drum head). The pitch of brass instruments is then changed by changing the frequency of the vibrations created by the lips. If you buzz your lips at a higher pitch, the instrument plays a higher note. The opposite is also true. Buzzing your lips at a lower pitch creates a lower note.

Do you blow into any brass instruments?

How sound is produced on a brass instrument and how is different from woodwind?
In woodwind instruments like the saxophone, clarinet, bassoon etc. the sound is produced when the reed vibrates against the mouthpiece. Coupled with the shape, and material of the instrument it will produce a different timbre. Brass instruments are slightly different. With brass instruments like a trumpet, euphonium, tuba - there is no reed. Instead, the mouthpiece is a single fixture and works kind of like this **Note: I am a bassoonist, saxist, and pianist. I've never put my mouth on a brass mouthpiece so I'm sorry if it is vague. Brass players don't just blow into the instrument like woodwinds do, but they instead have to "buzz" the mouthpiece. Basically what that means is that they blow through their tightly pressed lips to make the "buzz". So the main reason why the sound is different in brass and woodwind instruments is because of the playing technique.

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.
Does a trumpet have a reed?
The trumpet has no reeds. It is a brass instrument, which means the mouthpiece is a single piece of brass.
What is the vibrations that create sound in brass instruments come from?
No - there are no reeds at all in what are called the "brass instruments". The distinguishing feature of this group is that the sound is made by vibrating your lips on the mouthpiece, inviting the column of air in the instrument body to vibrate in sympathy with your lips. The air column amplifies the small movements of air your lips make - as you find out if you stand next to a trumpeter. I used to share a room with a trombonist, and know....! The fact that the instruments are usually made of brass is really neither here nor there in terms of how this "family" works, so it's not really an ideal name for the family.... Instruments in a "silver" band work just the same, but tend to have a slightly sweeter sound.
