Strings: because the sound is produced from vibrating strings. Woodwinds: because most of them are made of wood, and air is blown through them Brass: because all the instruments are made of brass Percussion: instruments where the sound is produced by a physical strike
Sting instruments. Unless you're talking about a piano type instrument with vibrating strings.
Percussion - example - Drums: these instruments are struck with something such as the hand, or a stick or hammer to make the sound. Woodwind- Example - Clarinet: these instruments have a reed to vibrate to make the sound. Brass- example - Trumpet: these instruments make sound by the vibrating lips of the player. String - example - violin : these instruments have strings that rubbed with a bow or plucked to make a sound There are also electronic instruments such as the theremin and one might consider the human voice to be an instrument.
These are the 5 categories of musical instruments as far as I know them. Membranophones- use a vibrating membrane to make a noise (ex. a conga drum) Idiophones- The actual instrument vibrates (ex. a xylophone or a bell) Aerophones- Moving air creates the sound (ex. a flute) Chordophones- Vibrating string makes sound (ex. a banjo) Electrophones- electronic production of a sound, coming out of a speaker (ex. keyboard)
They are all brass instruments that create sound by vibrating the lips against a mouthpiece.
