The percussion section is one of the main divisions of the orchestra and the concert band. It includes most percussion instruments and all unpitched instruments. The percussion section is itself divided into three subsections: * Tuned percussion, consisting of pitched instruments such as glockenspiel and tubular bells. * Auxiliary percussion, consisting of all unpitched instruments such as snare drum and cymbals. * Timpani. These three subsections reflect the three main skill areas that a percussionist studies. Percussion sections, consisting of similar instruments, may also be found in stage bands and other musical ensembles.〔''The Book of Music'', Editor Gill Rowley, ISBN 0 906286 34 4〕 ==Tuned percussion== :''See also untuned percussion'' This subsection is traditionally called tuned percussion,〔http://andrewhugill.com/manuals/percussion.html retrieved 22 March 2012〕 however the corresponding term ''untuned percussion'' is avoided in modern organology in favour of the term ''unpitched percussion'', so the instruments of this subsection are similarly termed ''pitched percussion''. All instruments of this subsection are pitched, and with the exception of the tympani, all pitched instruments of the percussion section are in this subsection. They include: * All mallet percussion instruments, and keyboard percussion instruments such as the xylophone and tubular bells. * Collections of pitched instruments such as hand bells, tuned cowbells and crotales. * Most other melodic percussion instruments. Despite the name, ''keyboard percussion'' instruments do not have keyboards as such. Keyboard instruments such as the celesta and keyboard glockenspiel are not included in the percussion section owing to the very different skills required to play them, but instead are grouped in the keyboard section with instruments that require similar skills. Similarly, the timpani, although they are pitched percussion and are tuned by the player, are not included in the ''tuned percussion'' subsection owing to the particular skills expected of the player. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「 The percussion section is one of the main divisions of the orchestra and the concert band.
