What makes an instrument part of the percussion family?
Because it cannot be bowed like a string instrument, nor does it have a mouthpiece for air to be blown into to make a sound. Certainly isn't made of brass, so it doesn't fit that family either. The sound of a rain stick is created by beads falling against pegs inside the stick ... it's just as percussive a sound as say, the the brush moving back and forth on the top of a snare drum.
How do play percussion instruments?
You can play percussion instruments with sticks, brushes, rods or play with your hands.

Is a piano different to a keyboard?
There's a big difference--a MIDI keyboard is a synthesizer equipped with MIDI while a standard keyboard is your desktop or laptop's computer keyboard. Don't get the two confused! What might be causing the confusion is that MIDI is the standardcommunication interface used in synthesizers that most synth manufactures (i.e. Yamaha, Roland, Korg) use.
There are a lot of different types of music keyboards that come in different sizes and capabilities so to say that there's a standard keyboard is a bit ambiguous.

Why is the piano a special instrument in an orchestra?
The piano is one of themost complicated instruments to learn. It takes years and years to learn (unless you are a prodigy!) and be able to play masterfully. Hours of practice and study in composers, songs, theory, technic, etc. Anyone who takes the time to learn and master this instrument has to be a very devoted and patient person.
There are 88 keys on the keyboard. Sixty-six of them have 3 strings. [66 x 3 = 198] The last 22 keys on the keyboard only have 2 strings each. [22 x 2 = 44] That means the piano has [198 + 44] 242 strings.
What to wear in piano recitals?
My teacher wants girls wear old school dress like skirts , blouse and long socks she also likes big hair clips like ribbon.she do not like a child with thick makeup.for boys she wants barong and pants.
EDIT; My answer:
If you are a boy, perhaps something slightly formal (but not as formal as tuxedos) black long pants, and maybe a tie would be fine.
If you are a girl, you can either wear a dress or a more formal-looking shirt and a skirt.
All the rest is up to you.
In fact, you can actually wear whatever you want to. As long as you think you look good in those clothes. Make sure someone else thinks that way, too.
Where does the piano get its sound from?
The piano sound is produced by your fingers striking a key, this activates a hammer which in turn strikes strings/wires tuned to different pitches. The loudness/softness comes from the strength behind the finger striking the keys. The piano has three strings for each pitch (except for those in the bass) and it is the vibration which makes the sound. these can be altered by using the pedals - the left sostenuto sustains the lower pitches while allowing the higher notes to dampen/stop sounding. Una corda (middle pedal) shifts the hammers so only one string is struck - less sound vibrating, a little softer perhaps, but less resonance. The damper pedal (right) allows all strings to vibrate until released, blurring the sounds together.
What would be the value of a Haines Brother Cabinet Grand piano made in 1911?
Right up front, I really have no idea. Because of its age its value will be in its style, finish and condition rather than as a musical instrument. Values vary quite a bit. Your piano technician can probably do some checking for you; you will have the serial number of the piano, and your technician knows very well the style and condition. I'd love to see a picture of it, but I don't think that is possible in this forum.
Where are all the keys in the keys to the kingdom?
Matthew 16:14-19 14And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Once Jesus gave the "keys" to Peter, you'll notice that Peter did not preach again until the book of Acts. Acts 2:38:
38Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
The "keys" to the Kingdom is Repentance, Baptism in the Name of Jesus and the gift of the Holy Spirit.
