Musical instruments are grouped into families based on how sounds are produced. The families are brass, percussion, woodwinds and strings.
Brass instruments, like the trumpet, trombone and tuba, produce sound from the vibration of a player’s lips against the mouthpiece of the instrument. Percussion instruments such as drums and cymbals create sounds when they are hit, or shaken, in the case of the maracas.
