Instrument Families – 4 x Helpful Visual Aids

What are the instrument families?

Musical instruments have been created in many different shapes and sizes to create distinct and unique sounds. They are grouped into four main families:

  • Brass
  • Woodwind
  • Strings
  • Percussion

Use these visual aids to remind your class of the various instruments that belong to each family group.

Feeling a bit extra? Why not play a song by a symphony orchestra and see if they can hear the varying instrument families being played
