Activities: LEARN / Instruments: BRASS FAMILY

BRASS FAMILY

Instruments in the brass family are all made of the metal, brass! Brass players press their lips up against a mouthpiece and blow air, causing a vibration which creates sound.


 

“I am a TRUMPET! I am the smallest instrument in the brass family. I have buttons you can press to change my sound and I can play the highest notes of all the brass instruments.”

This is what I sound like by myself

“I am a FRENCH HORN! If you stretch out the metal tube that makes up my body, it is about 8 feet long! I have buttons you can press to change my sound, and I can sing both with a mellow and powerful sound.”
