The Brass Family of Orchestral Instruments

I borrowed the trumpet from my brother! Look how much fun we are having.

Here's Maria, trying out the trumpet!
All instruments in the brass family have tubing, a bell, a mouthpiece and are made of brass. The trumpet, french horn, and tuba have valves. The trombone has a slide!

Noah hits a high note!

Ethan got the buzz going! You have to get your lips buzzing to make a sound in a brass instrument and that can be a challenge!
Luke's a natural! We figured out that if you lengthen the brass tubing by pressing down on a valve the pitch gets lower. But if you buzz your lips faster you can get a higher note! Ah, the physics of sound!

Here we are dancing to a brass serenade.
