Disorganized Essay Example[edit]

I've always been interested in music, and learning about different musical instruments. When I was a kid I played clarinet in the school band, Other kinds of instruments have also interested me. I found out that instruments are grouped in families. The families are; string, percussion, brass and woodwind.

To be considered in the strings family of instruments, the instrument has to have strings that are bowed or plucked. Some examples are violin, cello,banjo. There have been many famous violin players, and also the violin has spread all around the world.

You might think that the piano is a string instrument, because it has strings in it, but it's a percussion instrument because the strings are hit with little hammers. Xylophones, drums are also percussion instruments.

The clarinet has been around for a long time, longer than the saxophone for instance.. But I was never particularly interested in drumming. I don't have a good sense of rhythm.

Clarinet is a reed instrument, which is an instrument that has a reed you blow through to make the sound. Instead of a string vibrating, the reed vibrates. It belongs in the woodwind family.

One of the weirdest instruments I know of is called the "glass harmonica." It was invented by George Washington. It's a bunch of glasses that make a singing sound. I don't know what ochestra family that would fit under. You don't strike it, you don't play it with a bow, and there's no reeds. I wonder where a singer would go, too. I think there's one more family of instruments. There are four, and we have talked about three in this essay.
