The drum belongs to the percussion family. Percussion instruments are any that are played by banging, shaking or striking, usually by one object against another.

2. What musical family does the French horn belong to?

Instruments made from metal called brass mostly belong to the brass family. The French horn is made from brass. It has a very large tube which makes a sound when you blow into it.

3. What musical family does the flute belong to?

Answer: Woodwind

The sound of woodwind instruments is produced by the vibration of reeds in the mouthpiece or by blowing air across a hole. The flute is a high pitched instrument which is held in two hands while you blow across the hole in the end. Other woodwind instruments include the piccolo and oboe.

4. What musical family does the tambourine belong to?

Answer: Percussion

The tambourine belongs to the percussion family. There are tiny cymbals all around the tambourine and they make a sound when you tap them against your hand or thigh. Other percussion instruments include rattles and sleigh bells.

5. What musical family does the harp belong to?

Answer: String

An instrument with strings that are plucked belong to the string family. The harp is a large stringed instrument, and each string is plucked to create a different tone.

6. What musical family does the xylophone belong to?

Answer: Percussion

The xylophone belongs to the percussion family as you use a stick to hit against the bars. Each wooden bar has a different sound of the musical scale. A similar percussion instrument is a glockenspiel, but each bar is made from metal and not wood.

7. What musical family does the trumpet belong to?

Answer: Brass

The trumpet is made from brass (although the image shows a row of children's plastic trumpets) and is the smallest member of the brass family. The player blows into the mouth piece using a buzzing technique, all the while pressing down on a combination of valves. All of this together creates a beautiful sound.

8. What musical family does the guitar belong to?

Answer: String

A guitar usually has six strings that are plucked, either singly or simultaneously to make a musical sound. Some guitars are acoustic and others are electric. Other stringed instruments include the violin, banjo and fiddle.

9. What musical family does the saxophone belong to?

Answer: Woodwind

The saxophone is a woodwind instrument because it has a reed in its mouthpiece. A reed is a thin and slender piece of cane or metal which vibrates when air passes through. It is this which produces the sound.

10. What musical family do maracas belong to?

Answer: Percussion

Maracas are musical instruments originally from Latin American countries. They are hollow wooden balls with handles, and in each ball is a number of dried beans or seeds. They make a rattling sound when they are shaken which is why they belong to the percussion family.
