Instruments
• Instruments are often categorised by the materials they are made of. Chinese instruments can be made of skin, gourd, bamboo, wood, silk, earth/clay, metal or stone.
• Eg. The strings on this instrument are made of silk.

Woodwind, strings and percussion.
• Blown instruments are like our woodwind instruments, where sound is created by blowing air into the instrument.
• Plucked and bowed instruments are like our string instruments, where either the fingers or a bow are used on the strings to create music.
• Struck instruments are like our percussion instruments, where sound is created when instruments are hit with another object, or are sometimes hit together.
