Most children are ready to start when they are between 22 and 30 months of age, but every child is different. Toilet training usually becomes a long and frustrating process if you try to start it before your child is ready.
Brass Instruments and Music in Antiquity and the Renaissance Brass instruments have been around for a long time. Some of the earliest examples of brass instruments were straight trumpets made of wood, bronze, and silver, such as the salpinx found in Greece, and the Roman tuba, lituus, and buccina.
Quick Answer. The trumpet is a higher-register member of the brass instrument family. Brass instruments' defining qualities include a cup-shaped mouthpiece, slides, valves and a brass body. A brass instrument's typical structure involves a long brass tube with one end broadened into the shape of a bell. The brass family includes five main instrument types: the trumpet/cornet, the French horn, the trombone, the baritone/euphonium and the tuba/sousaphone. Sound is produced in these instruments by pursing the lips together and buzzing into the mouthpiece, creating a vibration of the air inside the brass tubes.
