Woodwinds • Partially made of Wood or were once made of Wood • Sound is created by the player blowing air into the instrument... Aka the windpart of the name • The player covers holes in the instrument to make the air travel further through the instrument and lower the pitch- similar to our recorders! • Piccolo • Flute • Clarinet • Oboe • Bassoon
Piccolo and Flute • Open Hole • The player blows through a tone hole, causing the air to vibrate inside the instrument and creating the sound • The highest members of the woodwind family
Listen • The flute and piccolo are used together in this variation • What does the sound remind you of?
The single reeds • Clarinets and Saxophones • The player blows into the mouthpiece, causing the reed to vibrate • The vibrating reed then makes the air inside the instrument vibrate and produces the sound
Clarinet- listen • What does the sound remind you of?
Double Reeds • Oboe and Bassoon • The player blows air between two reeds causing them to vibrate together • The reeds then case the air in the instrument to vibrate
Oboe-Listen • What does the sound remind you of?
