- drums (membranophones) - Membranophones with a resonating cavity covered at one or both ends by a membrane, which is sounded by striking, rubbing, or plucking
- guitars - Plucked lutelike chordophones with built-up ribs, gently-waisted body, fretted neck, flat peg disc, rear or machine tuning pegs, frontal string holder combined with bridge, and large circular soundhole. Their size, form, and number of strings can vary.
- jazz - Music, often improvisational, originally developed around the turn of the 20th century by African Americans from elements of blues and ragtime, with syncopated rhythms and a European harmonic structure. Jazz consistently evolved throughout the 20th century with numerous phases, from a New Orleans style or swing, to "free jazz," for example, which emerged in the late 1950s. Therefore, jazz itself has no precise definition, however it has rarely been a completely composed music.
- musicians - Those skilled or specializing in the art or practice of music, such as composers, conductors, and performers.
- pianos - Zitherlike chordophones with keyboards whose strings are sounded by being struck with rebounding hammers controlled by the keys.
- saxophones - Single-reed instruments, commonly of brass, with wide conical bore and slightly flared bell; built in several sizes from sopranino to contrabass, all but the two smallest are bent back in a U-form with the bell tilted forward.
- trumpets (aerophones) - Generally, all lip-vibrated aerophones of predominantly cylindrical bore. May also refer specifically for the modern Western band, concert, and orchestral trumpets, having a wide mouthpiece, a narrow bore, valves, and a medium-sized bell throat and bell flare.
