A group from the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra came to visit us at school.
From the Woodwind family they had a;
Flute- They played a piece from Peter and the wolf . A flute has a small mouth piece.
Picallo- It has a very high whistle sound.
Clarinet- had a Reid (vibrates sound) biggest range of sound with high and low sounds.
From the Brass family there was a;
Trumpet- We thought it was funny becuase he said he pretty much blow farts all day. A trumpet was used as a signalling devise in the old days. He played the Star Wars theme and the pink panther. Because the trumpet is so loud there is a mute to make it quieter and to make different sounds.
From the string family there was;
Violin- the bow which helps you play the intrument is made of horse hair and the instrument is made of wood. Someone got to go and help play "twinkle twinkle".
Chello- is bigger than a violin. The vibration travels through the bridge.
Usually in an Orchestra there is also a Double bass.
There was no instruments from the Percussion family to we did some body percussion.
