Three families of instruments
Age 7 · Music
Instruments make sound in different ways. Strings are bowed or plucked, winds are blown, and percussion is hit or shaken.

Every lesson is open to everyone for 7 days after it is published. This one came out on November 3, 2026: its text stays readable here, and its picture opens with a subscription.
The app is free. A subscription opens every lesson, in every school year.
Examples
- A violin and a cello sound when a bow rubs their strings.
- A flute and a trumpet sound when you blow air into them, and a drum sounds when you hit it.
Key takeaways
- Strings, winds and percussion each make sound in their own way.
- Listen closely and you can tell the families apart.
