Educational worksheet for learning orchestra instruments with interactive exercises.

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are given a worksheet about orchestra instruments. There are three main tasks:

1. Look at the pictures and match them to the correct instrument names (already done in the image — we don’t need to redo that).
2. Complete the table with information about each instrument family: Brass, Woodwind, Percussion, Strings.
3. Answer the questions at the bottom.

Since the first part is already filled out visually, we’ll focus on completing the table and answering the questions.

Step 1: Fill in the Table

The table has four sections: Brass, Woodwind, Percussion, Strings.

Each section asks:
- What material is the instrument made of?
- How do you play it? (e.g., blow into it, hit it, pluck strings, etc.)
- Give one example from the picture above.

Let’s go family by family.

Brass Instruments

From the picture: Trumpet, Trombone, French Horn, Tuba

→ Made of: Metal (brass)

→ How to play: You blow into a mouthpiece and buzz your lips.

→ Example: Trumpet (or any of the others)

So for Brass:
- Material: Metal
- How to play: Blow into mouthpiece and buzz lips
- Example: Trumpet

---

Woodwind Instruments

From the picture: Flute, Clarinet, Oboe, Bassoon, Saxophone

→ Made of: Wood or metal (but traditionally wood — even if some are metal now)

→ How to play: Blow air across a reed or hole; sometimes use a single or double reed.

→ Example: Flute (or Clarinet, etc.)

So for Woodwind:
- Material: Wood or metal
- How to play: Blow air through a reed or across a hole
- Example: Flute

---

Percussion Instruments

From the picture: Drum, Triangle, Cymbals, Xylophone, Tambourine

→ Made of: Many materials — wood, metal, skin (for drums)

→ How to play: Hit, shake, or scrape

→ Example: Drum (or Triangle, etc.)

So for Percussion:
- Material: Wood, metal, or skin
- How to play: Hit, shake, or scrape
- Example: Drum

---

Strings Instruments

From the picture: Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass, Harp, Guitar

→ Made of: Wood (body), strings (metal or gut)

→ How to play: Pluck or bow the strings

→ Example: Violin (or Harp, etc.)

So for Strings:
- Material: Wood and strings
- How to play: Pluck or bow the strings
- Example: Violin

Step 2: Answer the Questions

Question 1: Which instrument family does the piano belong to?

→ The piano has strings inside, but you press keys that make hammers hit the strings. So technically, it’s often grouped under Percussion because sound is produced by hitting (hammers striking strings). But sometimes it’s considered its own category. In most school worksheets like this, they classify piano as Percussion.

Answer: Percussion

Question 2: Name two instruments that you can pluck.

→ From the string family: Guitar, Harp, Violin (if pizzicato), Ukulele (not shown, but guitar and harp are in the picture).

Also, some percussion like xylophone isn’t plucked — so stick to strings.

Answer: Guitar and Harp (or Violin and Cello — but “pluck” means using fingers, not bowing)

Best answers from the picture: Guitar and Harp

Question 3: Which instrument would you find in an orchestra but NOT in a rock band?

→ Think: Rock bands usually have guitars, drums, maybe keyboard/synth, bass guitar.

Orchestra has violins, cellos, flutes, clarinets, trumpets, trombones, tubas, French horns, harps, etc.

So pick something not typical in rock: e.g., Violin, Cello, Flute, Oboe, Bassoon, French Horn, Tuba, Harp

Any of these work. Let’s pick one common one: Violin

Answer: Violin
