Question

A musical instrument is a device created to make musical

sounds. Anything that makes a sound can be used as a musical

instrument. The history of musical instruments goes back to

the beginning of culture. People first used instruments as

ritual: a hunter might use a trumpet to signal a successful

hunt; a drum might be used in a religious ceremony.

Cultures later composed and performed a set of sounds called a

melody for entertainment. Musical instruments were needed.

Some historians report that the earliest musical instrument was a

simple flute. Many of the earliest musical instruments were made

from animal skins, bone, wood, and other non-durable materials.

Musical instruments were developed separately in the different

countries and regions of the world, but when civilizations shared

information amongst themselves, the development of instruments

spread. For example, cultures of North America, South America,

and Central America used similar instruments and shared these

ideas of making instruments that were alike in some way.

Many different ways have been used to classify instruments over the years. One way to classify

instruments is to put them in groups by the range of music the instruments can play. Another

classification is to put them together by what they are made out of. However, the most common

method of grouping instruments is by how they produce sounds. The academic study of musical

instruments is called organology. Woodwinds and brass (sometimes called the “wind” instruments),

string, percussion, electric, and keyboard are types of instruments grouped according to how they

are made and the range of music and sounds they play.

Woodwind and brass instruments include the trumpet, clarinet, flute,

oboe, trombone, tuba, and harmonica. Stringed instruments include

the banjo, guitar, harp, violin, and viola. Percussion instruments

include the cymbal, chime, timpani, drum, and tambourine.

Electronic instruments are the keyboard and the synthesizer.

Keyboard instruments include the accordion, organ, and piano.

Maybe you will play an instrument someday. Will it be a woodwind

or brass, stringed, percussion, electronic or a keyboard instrument?
