Question

An orchestra is like a team. All of the musicians have to work together and help one another. All of the musicians have to listen carefully to the other musicians. They all have to play the right thing at the right time for the music to sound its best. So, orchestra musicians have to work as a team. There are different kinds of orchestras. But many orchestras have four sections. That is because there are four major families of instruments. The instruments in each family are similar to one another. One family is the strings. Stringed instruments make music when you move their strings. A violin is a string instrument. So is a harp. Another family is the brass family. Instruments in this family are made of brass. They can get very loud! A tuba is a brass instrument, and so is a trumpet. Instruments in the woodwind family make music when you blow into them. A flute is a woodwind instrument. So is a clarinet. Finally, there is the percussion (per-KUHSH-uhn) family. These instruments make music when you hit, shake, or scrape them. Drums are percussion instruments. So are tambourines. Each family has its own section of the orchestra. Orchestra musicians sit in a semicircle. This is so that they can see the conductor. The conductor leads the orchestra. He or she uses special arm and hand signals to tell the musicians when to play and what to play. So, everyone has to be able to see what the conductor is doing. Some orchestras have their own concerts. Others play the music you hear in movies. Others play the music you hear at the ballet. Some play the music you hear at plays. But they all work very hard. They want to make their music sound wonderful.
