Picture of the Lexington Philharmonic Orchestra

"An orchestra is a musical ensemble of mixed instruments under the direction of a conductor. The conductor makes sure all of the members of the orchestra are playing together."

"In the orchestra you will find four families of instruments: strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion."

"Sometimes there are smaller orchestras that only consist of string instruments, they are called a string orchestra."

"You will be joining an orchestra named the Lexington Philharmonic Orchestra. Let's meet the different families in your orchestra."
