Glossary: musical instruments

BACK

Violin: makes the highest sounds, in the orchestra they are divided into two groups: the first who often play the melody, the second alternate between melody and harmony. You play the violin by resting it between your chin and left shoulder. Your left hand holds the neck of the violin and presses down on the strings to change the pitch, while your right hand moves the bow or plucks the strings. Viola:slightly larger than the violin, played like a violin, is used to play the harmony. Cello: is much larger than the violin and viola and has thicker strings; they can make a wide variety of tones and can play both melody and harmony. you play it sitting down with the body of the cello between your knees, and the neck on your left shoulder. The body of the cello rests on the ground and is supported by a metal peg. You play the cello in a similar manner to the violin and viola, using your left hand to press down on the strings, and your right hand to move the bow or pluck the strings. Double bass: the biggest member of the string family, they mainly play the harmony, They are so big that you have to stand up or sit on a very tall stool to play them and you play it like the cello. Harp: is a very different instrument, has 47 strings of varying lengths, which are tuned to the notes of the white keys of the piano. Harps play both melody and harmony. You play the harp sitting down with your legs on either side, you pluck the harp strings with your fingertips and thumb.

Stringed instruments

BACK

Trumpet: is the smallest member of its family and plays the highest pitches with its bright and vibrant sound. they play both melody and harmony and also support the rhythm. You play the trumpet by holding it horizontally, buzzing your lips into the mouthpiece, and pressing down the three valves in various combinations to change pitch. French Horn: produces a wide variety of sounds. It's a 18 feet of tubing rolled up into a circular shape, with a large bell at its end. They play harmony as well as rhythm. To play the French horn, hold it with the bell curving downward and buzz into the mouthpiece. Your left hand plays the three valves and you can change the type of sound you make by the way you place your right hand in the bell. Trombone: uses a slide instead of valves to change pitch, they play the same range as the cello and the bassoon; Two U-shaped pipes are linked at opposite ends to form an "S." One pipe slides into the other so the total length of the pipe can be extended or shortened. You play the trombone by holding it horizontally, buzzing into the mouthpiece, and using your right hand to change pitch by pushing or pulling the slide. Tuba: is the largest and lowest brass instrument which has a deep and rich sound. The Tuba plays harmony. It's is a long metal tube, curved into an oblong shape, with a huge bell at the end. You play the tuba sitting down with the instrument on your lap and the bell facing up. You blow and buzz into a very large mouthpiece and use your hand to press down on the valves which changes the sound.

Keyboard, electric and electronic instruments

BACK

Flute: is the oldest of all instruments that produce pitched sounds; modern flutes are made of silver, gold or platinium. It's used to play the melody. You play the flute by holding it sideways with both hands and blowing across a hole in the mouthpiece, much like blowing across the top of a bottle. Your fingers open and close the keys, which changes the pitch. Piccolo : are shorter than the flutes, play the highest notes. Oboe: a 2 foot long black cylinder with metal keys covering its holes, and its mouthpiece uses a double reed, which vibrates when you blow through it. This vibration of the reed makes the air inside the oboe move, and thus creates sound. They produce a wide range of pitches, from haunting sounds to warm, velvety smooth notes. English Horn: closely related to the oboe and play the same manner. Clarinet: play both melodies and harmonies, and they have a dark rich sound in their lower notes, while the upper part of the clarinet's range is bright and resonant. You lay a clarinet like an oboe. Bass Clarinet :the lowest notes in the orchestra; they are so large that they are bent. Bassoon: a long pipe, doubled in half, made of wood, with many keys; the bassoon uses a double reed, which is fitted into a curved metal mouthpiece, they play lower harmonies. Contrabassoon: a longer and much larger bassoon with a wider pipe; It takes a lot of breath to make sound come out of such a long pipe! The lone contrabassoon plays the lowest notes in the entire orchestra.

Woodwind instruments

BACK

Piano: You play it by hitting its 88 black and white keys with your fingers. The keys lift hammers inside the piano that strike strings, which produce its distinctive sound. The piano usually supports the harmony, but it has another role as a solo instrument; so it can play both harmony and melody.Xylophone: has wooden bars or keys arranged like the keys of the piano, which the player hits with a mallet. You can change the quality of the pitch by using different kinds of mallets (hard or soft), and by hitting the wooden bars in different ways. Attached to the bottom of the wooden bars are metal tubes called resonators, where the sound vibrates. This gives the xylophone its bright bell-like sound.Cymbals are two large metal discs, usually made of spun bronze. Cymbals come in a range of sizes, from quite small to very large. The larger the cymbal, the lower the sound they make. Cymbals can be used for drama and excitement, to accent the rhythm or create delicate sound effects. You can play the cymbals either by hitting one cymbal against the other, or you can use sticks, mallets or brushes to hit one or both cymbals.Triangle: It's a small metal bar that's bent into the shape of a triangle and makes a ringing sound when you hit it. Tambourine is a small drum with metal jingles set into the edges.Drums: snare drum, bass drum; you play them with drum sticks.

The importance of our 5 senses

Our senses are really important to perceive our environment, to interact with other people. They help us with various social and collaborative experiences considering Art & Music. Our senses are connected to our emotions and memories so they can have a very big impact on our creative work.The environment we experience influences our creative process. When we experience variations in lighting, colors on the walls, different smells, and different types of sounds, they evoke different feelings within us and in turn these sensory experiences invade our creative process. The sensory effects of music affect our creative process.Many art forms use similar descriptive terms across art disciplines. Music, painting, drama and architecture use terms such as repetition, variety, intensity, rhythm, dialogue, balance, unity and so on. Some people can actually hear color, therefore they are easily influenced by music.You can use music to orchestrate your creative work and enhance your emotions according to your music choice.

I chose Arts and music mostly because I love art. Since I can remember, I liked painting on basically everything I saw. Even if I don't consider myself an artist, I do know I've improved a lot over the years. I can also say I prefer drawing than painting, but unfortunately I have less and less time for it because of my studies. On the other hand, music also plays a very important role in my life. I enjoy listening to music and discovering new songs and genres. I've tried multiple instruments in my life, but I don't play any at the moment. I do hope to return to the piano in the future!! Sara - Spain

"I am an artist. I listen very often to music and play the violoncello and the trumpet. When I was seven years old I started playing the violoncello. So now I have been playing this instrument for nine years. I started to play the trumpet with twelve years. Now I have been playing the trumpet for three years.I also like to sing. With my sisters I am singing sometimes together in a concert but not often. I played the violoncello in some concerts at school in the orchestra and for my own sometimes at the music school and two times at "Jugend musiziert". But that was all. I just play the trumpet in a brass band and a few times in church alone.But all in all I must say I don´t like to rehearse the new music pieces at the beginning. I am not the person who would practice playing every day ;). I like music but I also like to draw. But I only draw in school and when I have enough time at home but that is not very often. When I was younger I drew one picture a day. Now I need more time for drawing one picture :). I like to be creative." Sabine Burkhart - Germany

Students' talk: Art & Music in their daily life.

"I'm not really an artist but sometimes I dance, I draw and I paint. I love modern jazz, the contemporain and I like drawing flowers. Yes, I am learning at school and I really like it. But I don't exhibit my work. I started when I was a child because I loved it. At the beginning, I only drew only easy things." Julie - France

"MUSIC: I am an artist. I play the drumas for 4 years. Moreover, i play electric guitar for 3 years. I always find the time to practise as i have a metal/rock band. I love playng music. Even when i am not able to play with my instruments, i listen to my favourite songs. I mostly hear metal music. However i can enjoy hearing qualitative music whatever genre it is. Recently i have been composing songs because i find very intresting making songs. What really made me wanna learn music was my family. Both my mom and my brother play music so they were my inspiration.DRAWING: I also like drawing from a very young age. I always used to love drawing, but nowadays i do not really draw that often. However, when i do it helps me express my feelings. Through the colours and the combinations you can discover many things about your personality.PHOTOGRAPHY: The last two months i took up photography as a hobby. My brother gave me his proffesional camera for my present and since then he has taught me many things about photography. Many of my friends have asked me to photograph them for the instagram profiles. I still feel very new though, but practice makes perfect" Angelos - Greece

"I am not an artist but I like to draw. I learned to draw in college and I love doing it. I do not exhibit my art. I like to sing a lot but not in public.

Jordane - France"I am not an artist, I do not play an instrument but I have already done 2 years of guitar and I do not sing. I can't paint or draw but sometimes I do it as a hobby. At school we do plastic art. I already did a concert with my guitar master, it was cool, there were lots of other instruments and lots of artists. I was in CM2 and I was very stressed. it was difficult for me because of the audience but after I let go. I liked it a lot and I had fun and it's a very good memory." Elena - France

"I really love music, there are no rules, it's just like art. Since I am 8 years old I've been playing the guitar. I love it. But when I was 12 years old the motivation left me for a long time. But now I only practice those songs I realy want to learn. Also I love to sing. I have no problem with singing or playing in front of people, I love it." Sophie - Germany"Music: I really love music, i don't play a musical instrument but i love to sing. I sing every day, i dance also and im very happy to do that!When I go outside with my friends, i put a song in my phone and I sing! I love this hobby!!" Apostolos - Greece

"I love music. I listen to it and play it myself. I think music can inspire people. For every feeling and situation there is a song you can play or listen to. Everyone can understand the melody even if you don't understand the lyrics." Antonia - Germany"I like to draw! I also like music , I play the violin and some other instruments." Marietta - GermanyIn our free time we always listen to music. Also we have both been playing an instrument for more than 6 years. We think it's very important to learn an instrument and to listen to music. Letizia & Simone, Germany

Pablo Picasso was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist and stage designer , he was born in Málaga, Spain, on October 25, 1881. That's in Barcelona Picasso made his decisive break from the classical methods in which he had been trained, and began what would become a lifelong process of experimentation and innovation. Picasso remains renowned for endlessly reinventing himself, switching between styles so radically different that his life's work seems to be the product of five or six great artists rather than just one. Blue period, rose period, cubism...
