    Which instrument is the baby of the family in the string family of instruments?

    • Cello

    • Flute

    • Triangle

    • Violin

    Correct Answer
    A. Violin
    Explanation
    The violin is considered the "baby of the family" in the string family of instruments because it is the smallest and highest-pitched instrument in the group. It is often the first instrument that children learn to play and is commonly used in orchestras and ensembles. The cello, on the other hand, is larger and produces lower-pitched sounds. The flute and triangle are not part of the string family, making the violin the most appropriate answer.

    Which family of instrument does piano belong to? 

    • String Instruments

    • Percussion Instruments

    • Keyboard Instruments

    • Woodwind Instruments

    Correct Answer
    A. Keyboard Instruments
    Explanation
    The piano belongs to the family of keyboard instruments. This is because it is played by pressing keys on a keyboard, which in turn causes hammers to strike strings inside the instrument, producing sound. Unlike string instruments that produce sound by plucking or bowing strings directly, or percussion instruments that produce sound by striking or shaking, the piano's sound is generated through the mechanism of the keys and hammers. Therefore, it is classified as a keyboard instrument.

    • Flute, triangle, drums

    Correct Answer
    A. Flute, piccolo, clarinet
    Explanation
    The given instruments, flute, piccolo, and clarinet, are not brass instruments. They belong to the woodwind family of instruments. Brass instruments are typically made of brass and produce sound through vibrating lips or a reed, while woodwind instruments produce sound by blowing air across a mouthpiece or through a reed.
