Stringing Along
The brass family is make of metal
Played by blowing air through a cup or a funnel
Hear the trumpets
Tubas and trombones
French horns have a simply mellow tone
Woodwinds are tubes with holes that open and
close
Like flutes and clarinets and oboes.
Don’t forget bassoons and saxophones.
All but flutes have reeds which vibrate when
they’re blown.
Percussion instruments you hit or shake,
Made of wood or metal,
Or skins, real or fake
Some have pitch and some do not,
Like drums and cymbals and the woodblock
Sting instruments you strike, pluck or bow.
Don’t forget the harp and the grand piano
Violin, viola, cello and bass
Have four strings each played with vigor and
grace
The brass plays brilliantly so bright and
brilliantly
With a ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta
Is it any wonder that the brass has so much
class?

Along with deep, low sounds of the tuba.

Owning a Stradivarius is actually quite
precarious. Let me tell ya honey, they cost a lot
of money, but as violins go, they’re the very,
very best
All
Violas play lower.
And they are a little bit bigger than the violin
Melodies sounds so sweet when they are
played on the mellow cello.
Melodies sound so sweet when they are played
on the cello.
Bow the strings legato or pluck pixxicato.
The double bass sounds so great, but seldom
plays an obbligato.
Strings are so sublime!
