We have been looking at what an orchestra is and what is in an orchestra.

we had to guess what sounds were playing and what instrument they were.

we got most of them right.

An orchestra is a group of instruments that typically play classical music.

There are four types of instruments in an orchestra: 

• Woodwind
• Brass 
• Percussion 
• Strings

woodwind instruments is when a musician blows air into the blow hole and puts his fingers on the little buttons to makes different noises

string instruments make a noises with moving the string.A string instrument plays soft noises.   

                percussion instruments make noises  when you hit the drums,bells,xylophone,
