A brass instrument is an instrument played by vibrating the lips while blowing into it. What the instrument is actually made of doesn't matter, as some instruments played in this manner are made of things like wood, and some instruments played differently are made of brass.
The pitch of a brass instrument is changed by pressing down valves or moving slides, or sometimes a combination of the two.
