Contextual Overview
27 At the dedication of the wall of Yerushalayim they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Yerushalayim, to keep the dedication with gladness, both with giving thanks, and with singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with harps. 28 The sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain round about Yerushalayim, and from the villages of the Netofati; 29 also from Beit-Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geva and `Azmavet: for the singers had built them villages round about Yerushalayim. 30 The Kohanim and the Levites purified themselves; and they purified the people, and the gates, and the wall. 31 Then I brought up the princes of Yehudah on the wall, and appointed two great companies who gave thanks and went in procession; [whereof one went] on the right hand on the wall toward the dung gate: 32 and after them went Hosha`yah, and half of the princes of Yehudah, 33 and `Azaryah, Ezra, and Meshullam, 34 Yehudah, and Binyamin, and Shemayah, and Yirmeyahu, 35 and certain of the Kohanim' sons with trumpets: Zekharyah the son of Yonatan, the son of Shemayah, the son of Mattanyah, the son of Mikhayahu, the son of Zakkur, the son of Asaf; 36 and his brothers, Shemayah, and `Azar'el, Milalai, Gilalai, Ma`ai, Netan'el, and Yehudah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God; and Ezra the Sofer was before them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer,.... These seem to be all priests that blew the trumpets:
and the singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer; these were the Levites, that sung the songs of praise vocally, and raised their voices very high, Jezrahiah being precentor, who led the tune, as well as played on instruments.
