What is It
The origin and materials of any musical instrument has something to do with
the culture and practices of the people on a certain area made with the availability
of common materials around them in a certain period of time. Thus, people in Arctic
Regions use bones, skin and stone for their musical instruments, while residents in
the tropical areas have wood and bamboo and some societies utilize their available
malleable materials made of metals to construct their musical instruments.
The types of instruments are classified by the method of how it produces

sound and the way it is played. The following are the major types of musical
instruments.
Percussion Instruments are musical instruments that are sounded by

striking, scraping, rubbing or by beating with the use of beater such as bass drum,
snare drum, cymbal, and xylophone. Idiophones are considered part of the
percussion section in an orchestra. These instruments are those in which different
notes can be sounded by pressing parallel levers. Examples are triangles and bells.
Stringed Instruments (Chordophones) are instruments that produce sound

when strings are vibrating or when the player pluck, sound the string in some
manner. Examples are guitar, cello, and violin.
Wind Instruments (Aerophones) are instruments that have resonators in

which the flow of air is set into vibration by the player blowing into a mouthpiece set
at or near the end of resonator. Examples are flute, trumpet, and clarinet.
Music of Japan
The traditional Japanese music is basically meditative and spiritual in

character. Its performance is done as part of a ceremony. It is usually about religious
festivals, work, dance, love, and regional songs.
Audiences are looking for this self-mastery in musicians. This is the reason
why music has become highly ritualized. Musicians must show this spiritual self-
mastery in their performance and composure. They work on an inner strength in
mastering his or her instrument, more than simply perfecting a technique of some
sort and providing entertainment.

Music of China
The teachings of the Chinese philosopher Confucius have greatly influenced

the Chinese Music as part of Chinese culture. He conceived music in the highest
sense as a means of calming the passion of dispelling of unrest and lust, rather than
as a form of amusement. Traditionally, the Chinese have believed that sound
influences the harmony of the universe. Significantly, one of the most important
duties of the first emperor of each new dynasty was to search out and establish that
dynasties through standard of pitch. A result of this philosophical orientation was
that the Chinese theoretically opposed music performed solely for entertainment.
