When we talk about musical instruments, we often talk about them as being part of a family. That's because, just like in human families, the instruments in a particular family are related to each other. They are often made of the same types of materials, usually look similar to one another, and produce sound in comparable ways. Some are larger and some are smaller, just as parents are bigger than children.
In a symphony orchestra, we normally divide the instruments into four groups or "families":
String
Woodwind
Brass
Percussion
The following video from the Southeastern Ohio Symphony provides an introduction to the various instruments in a way that is both educational and funny!
