练习 1
Complete the list of "instrument families"!

instruments: violin, viola,
instruments: clarinet, , flute
instruments: trumpet, trombone, French horn
instruments: , piano, cymbal
Complete the list of "instrument families"!

String 1 instruments: violin, viola, cello 2
Wind 3 instruments: clarinet, oboe 4, flute
Brass 5 instruments: trumpet, trombone, French horn
Percussion 6 instruments: drum 7, piano, cymbal
1 String: This is correct. String instruments are instruments with (four) strings like the violin or viola. The strings vibrate and produce sound!
1 Brass: This isn't the best choice here!
1 Wind: This isn't the best choice here!
1 Percussion: This isn't the best choice here!
2 cello: This is correct. The term "cello" is short for violoncello. The cello belongs to the violin family, it plays the lowest part in a string quartet. When played, the cello rests vertically on the floor, placed between the player's knees. Note, we pronounce the "c" of "cello" like the "ch" of "church" - c(h)ello!
2 oboe: Oops! The oboe doesn't belong to the string family, I'm afraid!
2 drum: Oops! The drum doesn't belong to the string family, I'm afraid!
3 Wind: This is correct. Wind instruments produce sound that is activated by players' "wind" or breath. The full name is "woodwind instruments". The clarinet and flute are examples of wind instruments.
3 Brass: Sorry, you've hit a wrong note here!
3 String: Sorry, you've hit a wrong note here!
3 Percussion: Sorry, you've hit a wrong note here!
4 oboe: This is correct. The oboe has a long tubular body. Like all (wood)wind instruments, sound is made by blowing and making the reeds in the mouthpiece vibrate.
4 cello: The cello isn't a wind instrument!
4 drum: The drum isn't a wind instrument!
5 Brass: Brass instruments are traditionally made of brass (a shiny metal). Sound is produced by blowing into a mouthpiece. Unlike wind instruments, sound is not produced by making a reed vibrate, but by making a column of air vibrate. French horns, trumpets and trombones are all brass instruments.
5 String: Sorry, this is incorrect!
5 Wind: Sorry, this is incorrect!
5 Percussion: Sorry, this is incorrect!
6 Percussion: Percussion instruments produce sound by being struck or hit by sticks, hammers or hands. The cymbals are my favorite percussion instrument. CRASH!
6 String: Nope, you're singing out of tune here!
6 Wind: Nope, you're singing out of tune here!
6 Brass: Nope, you're singing out of tune here!
7 drum: A drum is basically a frame (usually cylindrical) with a membrane (such as an animal skin) stretched over it. You hit it and it makes a noise - BOOM!
7 oboe: Sorry, the oboe is not a percussion instrument (even if you use it to strike a drum!).
7 cello: Sorry, the cello is not a percussion instrument - even when it's playing pizzicato!
