0:00 Let's meet the instrument families. Hi, I'm Miss Jessica. Welcome to my world. Today, we're off on a musical adventure in music town [music] to meet
0:11 six instrument families. Instrument families are grouped by how they make sound. Here, repeat after me. [music] Instrument families
0:20 >> Instrument families >> are grouped >> are grouped >> by how they make sound.
0:27 >> by how they make sound. Great job. Keep those listening skills sharp and let's head to orchestra lane la.
0:39 We made it to orchestra lane. There are four instrument families that play together in a big [music] group called an orchestra. The string family,
0:48 the woodwin family, [music] the brass family, and the percussion family. Let's explore and let me know if you see
0:59 an instrument before I do. >> Look. >> Look. >> What?
1:04 >> I see something. >> You see something? >> It's over there. >> It's the string family. Come on.
1:11 Hi, string family. [music]
1:20 That sounds so beautiful. And let's remember, music families are grouped by how they make sound. Exactly. The [music] string family makes sound when
1:30 their strings vibrate. Everyone put your hands like this. And now shake your hands and your arms like this and go. [screaming]
1:40 [laughter] That is us vibrating. And that's what strings do [music] when they make sound. Now, there are four ways to make a string vibrate. You can
1:52 pluck them, bow them, strum them, or strike them.
2:05 Let's act those out together. Pretend you have a big, beautiful harp in front of you, and we will pluck the strings together. Ready? Go.
2:17 Ah, so beautiful. Now, pretend you have a viola. Oh, I have a real [music] one. This is a bow. And when I bow it on a string, it
2:29 makes a sound like this. Now, you pretend you have a viola and bow. I'll play and you can bow [music]
2:38 with me. Ready? Go. Wow, great job. Now, pretend [music] you have a guitar
2:52 and we'll strum it together. Ready? Go. [music] Great job. Now, let's pretend we have a doulamer
3:05 [music] and two hammers that we hold in our hands. We'll strike the doulamer like this. Ready? Go.
3:14 Great [music] job. Some of the string instruments you'd find in a classical orchestra include the violin, [music]
3:26 [music] the viola, which I play and I love [music]
3:36 the cello and the bass.
3:47 >> [music] >> Oh, globe.
3:53 [laughter] I love the globe. [music] String family instruments aren't only found in classical orchestras. [music] They're
4:00 found in cultures all over the world. In a Chinese orchestra, you [music] might hear the oo.
4:16 In India, [music] you might hear a sanur from West Africa. You might hear the kora. [music]
4:35 [music] As long as the instrument makes sound with vibrating strings that you either
4:43 pluck, bow, strum, or strike, it belongs in the string [music] family, no matter where it's from in the world. Okay, let's review. Instrument families are
4:54 grouped by how they make sound. >> That's right. And string [music] instruments make sound when their strings what?
5:04 Vibrate. That's right. And what four actions can you do to make a string vibrate? You can pluck, [music] bow,
5:16 strum, or strike. Wow, great job. Let's keep exploring to see what other instruments we might need. Bye. Strings.
5:34 >> Look, look. >> Oh, do you see something? instruments there. >> It's the woodwin family. Come on.
5:42 >> Hi, woodwinds. >> Now, let's remember instrument families are grouped by how they make sound.
5:54 >> Woodwinds make sound when [music] air vibrates inside a tube. That happens when you blow air with your mouth. Here, try it with me. Everybody go like this.
6:07 Easy peasy. Some woodwinds [music] use reads which look like this. The clarinet [music]
6:18 obo. [music]
6:26 Others use air blown across a hole like a flute. [music]
6:36 And some have air blown through a mouthpiece like the recorder, which some of you might already play.
6:49 Okay, let's try blowing air again together, but this time bring your hands like this [music] in a tube shape, and we're going to blow into the tube.
6:56 Ready? Go. Wa! Can you feel the air in your hands? In a classical orchestra, members of the
7:06 woodwin family are [music] instruments like the flute, [music] the saxophone,
7:21 [music] the clarinet. [music]
7:32 The obo, [music] the bassoon, [music]
7:46 and the piccolo. Wow. Oh, globe. Woodwinds aren't just in classical
7:58 orchestras. They come from all around the world. In Japan, you might hear the shakuhaji. [music]
8:09 [music] In Egypt, you might hear a nay.
8:22 And in South America, sas [music] play beautiful melodies like this. [music] If an instrument makes sound by air
8:38 vibrating inside a tube, no matter where they come from in the world, it belongs in the woodwin family. Okay, let's review. Instrument families
8:47 are grouped by how they make sound. >> Exactly. Woodwinds [music] make sound when air vibrates inside a tube. Let's give a warm wave goodbye to the
8:59 woodwinds [music]
9:07 and then keep exploring orchestra lane. >> Wow, we've met the string family, the woodwin family. I wonder who we'll meet next.
9:16 >> Look, instruments. >> Wait, you see an instrument? >> Look over there. A you do see an instrument. That's the brass family.
9:25 Come on. Hi brass family. >> Wa. What a powerful group of instruments. Now repeat after me.
9:40 Instrument families >> Instrument families >> are grouped >> are grouped
9:46 >> by how they make sound. >> by how they make sound. Great. Brass family instruments make sound when
9:54 you buzz your lips into a mouthpiece, sending air through the instrument to make music.
10:04 [music] Let's try buzzing our lips together. Playing a brass family instrument takes
10:11 a lot of breath. So, let's start with breathing before we start buzzing. Let's take a nice big breath in for a count of two. And then a nice big breath out for
10:20 a count of two. Ready? Go. [sighs] Good job. Let's try that again. Ready? Go.
10:31 [sighs] Okay, now remember how to breathe big like that when we try buzzing our lips. Now say banana.
10:40 >> Banana. [laughter] >> Good job. Say it again. Banana. banana. >> Now, we're going to think about saying banana, but not say it. And then [music]
10:49 just stop our lips right at the beginning of the word. That [music] is the position you want to have your lips in to make a buzzing
10:57 sound to play a brass family instrument. Now, let's try buzzing our lips. We'll take a big breath and then we'll put our lips together like we're about to say
11:05 banana, but instead we'll blow the air out of our lips like this. Ready? Go. >> [laughter] >> It's kind of a silly sound and it kind
11:18 of tickles my lips. That's how you blow into a brass family [music] instrument. Here, try it again. Ready?
11:27 [laughter] It'll sound a whole lot better when we have an instrument in front of our lips. Now in the classical orchestras brass
11:34 family instruments include the trumpet, [music] the trombone,
11:49 [music] [music]
11:58 [music] the tuba. and French horns
12:17 [music] and other special horns like the euphonium.
12:25 [music] Oh, there's the glow. Brass family instruments can be heard outside of the
12:33 classical orchestra all over the world in [music] different cultures. Now, remember, instrument families are grouped by how they make sound, not by
12:43 what they're made of. Not all brass family instruments are made of brass. [music] The outpour of Switzerland is made of
12:49 wood. [music] And the chauffar in Jewish tradition is most commonly made of rams horn.
13:10 But both the alh horn and the chauffar belong to the brass family because of how you play them. By buzzing your lips and blowing air through a tube. All
13:19 right, let's review. Instrument families are grouped by >> by how they make sound. >> Exactly. by how they make sound. Brass
13:28 family instruments [music] make sound when you buzz your lips into a mouthpiece, sending air through the instrument to make music. Thanks, Brass
13:36 family. [music] So cool. Let's keep exploring. Wow. There are four families [music] that
13:48 live on Orchestra Lane, and we've met three of them. Wait, who have we met so far? >> The string family.
13:54 >> Oh, yeah. The string family. The Woodwin family. >> The Woodwinds family. >> The Brass family.
14:00 >> That's right. The Brass family. And soon we'll meet the >> Do you hear that? >> Yes.
14:09 >> It's the percussion family. [music]
14:20 [laughter] Now remember, instrument families are grouped by how they make sound. Percussion instruments make sound when
14:27 you hit, shake,
14:35 or scrape the instrument. Let's try being percussion instruments ourselves. Ready? Take your hands and
14:46 tap your legs. Ready? Go. Awesome. Now pretend you're holding an egg shaker like this.
14:57 And now shake it. A egg.
15:05 Great job. Now make a fist and bring it close to your ear and use the index finger of your other hand and rub. Do you hear that? This is us sort of
15:17 scraping or rubbing an instrument. And now our hands have become a percussion instrument. In a classical orchestra, you might hear percussion instruments
15:25 [music] like the timony, [music]
15:35 the xylophone, [music] the mima. [music]
15:53 The triangle [bell]
16:06 symbols. [music]
16:19 >> [music] >> the chimes
16:25 [bell] and a bass drum.
16:36 You can learn even more about percussion instruments when you watch my percussion episode with Mr. MVP. O globe
16:45 [laughter] percussion family instruments can be heard all around the world. In [music] India, there's something called the
16:52 tapla [music]
17:02 in Africa. The jbe >> [music]
17:12 >> In South America, the Kahon [music] and in Ireland, the Balan.
17:31 If you can hit it, shake [music] it, or scrape it to make sound. It's part of the percussion family, no matter where it's from in the world. Okay, let's
17:40 review. Instrument families are grouped by >> by how it makes sound. >> Oh, you are never going to forget that
17:47 percussion family instruments make sound when you hit it, >> shake it, or scrape it.
18:00 Let's give a very percussive clap and say thank you to the percussion family. >> Thank you. >> Thank [applause] you, percussion.
18:12 >> Wow, [music] we met all four instrument families that make up the orchestra. The [music] strings, the woodwinds, the brass, and the percussion. Next, let's
18:22 go to keyboard valley. Oh, now we're in Keyboard Valley. Let's explore. [music] Let me know if you see a keyboard before I do.
18:32 >> Look. Look. >> What's that? >> I see one. >> You see a keyboard already?
18:36 >> Yes. Over there. >> It's the keyboard family. Come on. Hi, keyboards.
18:49 [music] Keyboards are grouped together by how you play them. Keyboards make sound when
18:57 you press keys with your fingers [music] [music] and sometimes with your feet like with
19:08 an organ. [music] What happens inside each instrument to
19:20 make sound can be very different. Some keyboard family instruments have strings that are hit, like inside a piano. [music]
19:34 Some move air like an organ. When an organ is played, air is [music] pushed out through these big pipes.
19:44 [music] And some use electricity like a digital keyboard.
19:51 >> [music] >> But they're all part of the keyboard family because of how you play them. By
20:01 pressing keys. Now, let's pretend we're playing a piano together. Tap your fingers on a desk or on your lap and let's play a slow song.
20:15 >> [music] >> Now, let's play a super fast song.
20:25 [laughter] Great job. Some instruments in the keyboard family include the piano,
20:40 the organ, [music] the Celesta. [music]
20:56 >> [bell] >> the electric keyboard [music]
21:06 [music] and the accordion. [music]
21:15 [music] It's the globe. Some cultures have their own keyboard style instruments too, like
21:22 the Indian harmonium from India. [music]
21:34 If you press keys to make music, then it's [music] in the keyboard family, no matter where it's from in the world. Okay, let's review. Keyboard instruments
21:42 are grouped [music] by how you play them. You play them by pressing keys with your fingers and sometimes with your feet. Thanks, keyboard family.
21:51 [music] [music]
22:01 [music] That was the synthesizer. Let's go follow it.
22:10 Wa! We're in Electro [music] City. [laughter] So cool. >> An instrument.
22:16 >> You see an instrument? >> Where? >> Over there. >> It's the electronic family. Come on. Hi,
22:24 electronic family. [music] [laughter]
22:34 Now remember, instruments are grouped by how they make sound. Electronic instruments make sound by [music] using electricity and technology. These
22:43 instruments use buttons, pads, and knobs to send sound through speakers. Some electronic instruments include the synthesizer.
22:58 [music] The drum machine [music]
23:12 [music] and the theram which you play without even touching it.
23:28 >> [music] >> A guitar. >> Oh, you see a guitar. That's right. This is a guitar and it's here in Electro
23:37 City because it's an electric guitar. See, some instruments are called hybrids. A hybrid instrument is one that mixes two types of sound making. And
23:48 remember, instruments are grouped by how they make sound. An electric guitar is still a string instrument because you play it by strumming the strings, but it
23:58 needs to be plugged in and use electricity to be really heard. [music] So, it uses both strings and electricity, which makes it a hybrid.
24:09 Other hybrid instruments include the electric keyboard, which we heard earlier in Keyboard Valley. [music]
24:21 >> [music] >> the electric cello and an ewi. Everyone say ewi. >> Ew.
24:37 >> An ew is an electric wind instrument [music] and it sounds like this. >> [music]
24:49 >> Almost any regular instrument can become a hybrid if you add [music] something new to it like electricity, a speaker, or even parts of another kind of
24:59 instrument like a kear. Okay, let's review. Instruments are grouped
25:12 >> by how they make sound. >> Yes, by how they make sound. Electronic instruments make sound using electricity and technology. A hybrid instrument
25:22 mixes [music] two types of sound making. Wow, that's so cool. Thanks, electronic family.
25:36 Wow, what a fun adventure we had in music town today. We learned that instrument families are grouped by >> how they make sound.
25:45 >> That's right, how they make sound. We met six instrument families today. the strings, [music]
25:55 the woodwinds, the brass,
26:04 the percussion, [music] the keyboards,
26:13 and the electronics. And we learned about hybrid instruments, too. [music]
26:23 [snorts] Oh, it sounds like a concert is about to begin. I better go get my seat. Thank you so much for exploring and learning
26:32 with me today. I love spending time with you. I'm Miss Jessica and I'll see you [music] on our next adventure. Bye. Thanks for clicking the subscribe
