- 1. Woodwinds, brass, and percussion are three main categories of musical instruments commonly found in orchestras and bands. Woodwind instruments, such as flutes, clarinets, and saxophones, produce sound by the vibration of a reed or by the movement of air within the instrument. Brass instruments, including trumpets, trombones, and tubas, create sound through the vibration of the player's lips against a mouthpiece. Percussion instruments, like drums, cymbals, and xylophones, produce sound by being struck, shaken, or scraped. Each of these instrument groups plays a unique role in creating rich and diverse musical textures, adding depth and color to musical compositions.
