The four main sections are:

  • strings (violin, viola, cello, double bass)
  • brass (Trumpet, Trombone, tuba)
  • woodwind (oboe, flute, Clarinet, bassoon)
  • percussion (timpani, triangle, cymbal)

Individual instruments may be added to each section according to how the composer wrote the music being performed.

There are 3 major sections of an orchestra. One section consists of the string players like violins, one section consists of the wind players like the Flute player, and the last section consists of percussionists.

In an orchestra that has just strings, there's violin, viola, cello and bass. Sometimes the violin group is divided into 2 groups: 1st violin and 2nd violin.

A symphony orchestra has a string section, a woodwind section, a brass section and a percussion section.
