PERCUSSION
• Percussion instruments are any instruments that must be hit, shaken, or struck to produce a sound.
• This section is divided into definite pitch (those that can produce a pitch) and indefinite pitch (those that cannot). Pitch is a high or low sound
• How would you classify a drum, a xylophone, a tambourine, cymbals, and a piano?

Name the lowest-pitched instruments in each of the remaining sections. 3. Which woodwind does not use a reed?4. Which brass instrument uses a slide?
