Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The first thing I did was play the piano. Which one of these letters is not a musical note on a piano?

Answer: Z

The piano keys are arranged in groups of seven, using the letters A through G. There are also sharps and flats in between the keys.

2. Then, I moved to the guitar. How many strings are on a regular guitar?

Answer: Six

The average guitar has six strings and approximately 21 frets, which control the pitch of the guitar.

3. Then I moved on to the violin. Which type of instrument is a violin?

Answer: String

String instruments include anything with strings, with the exception of the piano, which some consider percussion, due to the hitting of the keys.

4. After that, I moved to the drums. What type of instrument are the drums?

Answer: Percussion

Percussion instruments include anything that is hit or struck. They have been played all over the world for thousands of years!

5. I then moved on to the clarinet. My friend, however, played an instrument that is like a double clarinet. What did he play?

Answer: Oboe

The oboe is like a clarinet with two reeds. The flute and piccolo are also woodwind instruments. The trombone is a brass instrument.

6. Although this is band camp, there is also an orchestra. Which one of these instruments does not belong in a traditional orchestra?

Answer: Guitar

A traditional orchestra draws from all four musical instrument families. String instruments such as violins, violas, cellos, and basses are included, but guitars are never included.

7. I'm going to try my hand at chorus (singing). Which one of these is not a category of voice pitch in a chorus?

Answer: Tambourine

The four main voice pitches for a chorus are soprano, alto, tenor, and bass. A tambourine is a percussion instrument.

Answer: Sousaphone

The sousaphone was invented by John Philip Sousa, who made it easier to carry by having it wrap around the body of the person playing it. It is a common sight in marching bands today.

9. We are playing a final performance for our parents! In which one of these performances will the piano NOT be played?

Answer: Marching Band

A piano would be too hard to move around in a marching band. Often, the piano is the only instrument played in a chorus, with the rest of the sound coming from the singers' voices.

10. Band camp is over, and we're allowed to take one instrument home with us. Which one of these instruments would be most likely to fit in my suitcase?

Answer: Piccolo

A piccolo is a tiny woodwind instrument with a very high sound. A double bass is just barely small enough for a strong human to carry. Pianos and organs weigh way more than a human!
