Answer:
1. An orchestra is a group of instrumentalists, especially one combining string, woodwind, brass, and percussion sections and playing classical music.
2. The typical orchestra is divided into four groups of instruments: strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion.
3. Stringed instrument, any musical instrument that produces sound by the vibration of stretched strings, which may be made of vegetable fibre, metal, animal gut, silk, or artificial materials such as plastic or nylon while woodwinds instruments produce sound by splitting the air blown into them on a sharp edge, such as a reed or a fipple. The sound starts on a brass family instrument when a musician buzzes their lips into the mouthpiece to get the air inside vibrating and percussion instruments are any instrument you strike or shake to make a sound.
