Brass
Brass instrument are made of brass or other metal in which the vibration of the player’s lips against a mouthpiece causes the initial vibration of an air column. A more precise term is lip-vibrated instrument. Typical brass instruments in a Western orchestra are the trumpet, trombone, French horn, and tuba.
Trumpet
The trumpet is a brass instrument commonly used in classical and jazz ensembles. The trumpet group ranges from the piccolo trumpet—with the highest register in the brass family—to the bass trumpet, pitched one octave below the standard Bâ™ or C trumpet. The trumpet is characterized by its striking, triumphal sound and by the fact that it boasts the highest register of all the brass instruments. It does splendid work, single-handedly giving expression to heroism and jubilation.
French horn
The French horn originally come from the hunting horn of the 1600s, and produces a wide variety of sound ranging from very loud to very soft, and from harsh and blaring to mellow and smooth. The French horn's 18 feet of tubing is rolled up into a circular shape, with a large bell at its end. To play the French horn, hold it with the bell curving downward and buzz into the mouthpiece. Your left hand plays the three valves and you can change the type of sound you make by the way you place your right hand in the bell.
