Classication Essay

What Kind of Instrument do You Like
Many people like to listen to music, and different kinds of instrument can make different effects. For example, different kinds of instrument have different constructions that can create different tones; hence, they can make different feelings. Additionally, people like listen different kinds of instrument depend on their moods or situation, and special occasions use special kind of instrument. To me, if I am relaxing, I will not listen the music such as percussion. Now, music instrument can be classified into three obvious groups: stringed instrument, wind instrument, and percussion.
Stringed instruments can produce very technical music and touching music. Moreover, is is the most difficult instrument to play due to the fact that it made from strings and the strings have no exact pitch. For example, stringed instruments include violin, viola, cello. On the other hand, when a performer plays stringed instrument such as violin, he may play music that sounds very exciting. We will feel the performer is very technical because we can see performer is busy using his bow very quickly, and we can see his left hand which controls the pitch on the string is also very busy. Another thing, if we have a music that is slow tempo, and melody is very beautiful, very touching, we will feel stringed instruments really touch our hearts.
Wind instrument can create the tones that like human’s voice such as oboe, flute is very popular for children to learn. The major reason is that this kind of instrument is usually easier to play than stringed instrument. Moreover, there are two kinds of wind instrument, woodwind instrument and brass instrument. Woodwind instruments are oboe, flute, and clarinet, which all sound soft. Brass instrument such as trumpet, tuba, and horn, sound very loud. Therefore, when these two sorts of instrument play together, it can make very special effects. Additionally, people play wind instrument by using their own air to create melody and control notes. Besides, due to the fact that we use our air to control the melody; hence, the melody that we create will sounds like human’s voice.
Percussion is the most popular instrument in jazz. Many American like jazz because it came from America. Additionally, percussion is the most common instrument in the world because when people play percussion, they do not need any skill. For example, percussion such as drum, cymbals, wood blocks, which we can see in the orchestra. Therefore, many parents like their children play percussion just for fun. Moreover, percussion can make cadent melody; therefore, when people hear the percussion music, they feel very exciting. On the other hand, when performers play percussion, it is really different from stringed instrument and wind instrument because percussion cannot create touching music and cannot produce the tone like wind instrument. Percussion instrument only can create cadent melody and thrill people’s heart.
In conclusion, different material instrument can make different feeling. For example, stringed instrument can create very technical music, and it also can create very touching music. Wind instrument can create tones which like human’s voice because people use their own air to control notes. Finally, percussion instrument can create very cadent music and powerful music that can thrill our hearts. Every kinds of instrument has its own character, and we can choose different characters depending on our moods or special occasions.
