Woodwind instrument

When I was in fifth grade, I was caught between two worlds, playing a woodwind or string instrument. If I played a woodwind instrument, I would have to blow in it to make music, but string instruments consist of playing with a bow to make music. After much thought, I decided that the violin was the best instrument due to its beautiful, unique sound, plus the possibilities are never-ending. I could receive a compliment from a teacher, or even be accepted to the symphony. In elementary, I was known

stubborn has its advantages and disadvantages. One advantage is that it leads to being dedicated for everything you start. In middle school, specifically in fifth grade, band class and being able to learn an instrument is first introduced to students. Many people sign up, trying out instruments until they find one they enjoy. I, along with a handful of other people in my grade, joined a year late. Not only was I a year late, but I also missed sign ups again, and joined a few months into my sixth grade

The orchestra for both pieces is quite large to accommodate for the dramatic sounds trying to be created. The large orchestra allowed for Tchaikovsky to manipulate each instrument to create the happy carefree tune that was quickly replaced by the eerie and deep melody. Symphony No. 4 begins with a quiet introduction of the woodwind and brass family, but quickly turns into a dark and

I saw the Marin Oratorio perform in the afternoon at College of Marin. The ensemble played classical was made up of every type of instrument including brass, woodwind, strings, percussion, keyboard and voice. They performed The Seasons by Franz Josef Haydyn. The venue was a pretty large theatre. The stage had two levels with most of the instrumentalists on the bottom and vocalists behind on risers. The stage was separate from the audience but pretty close. I could see nearly everyone, which allowed

the Varsity Band performed a royal march called “King Cotton” by Karl King. It reminded me of a Sousa-type piece due to the recurring melody and march style. As the piece began, the band played tutti but had a mediocre balance due to the woodwind instruments, particularly the clarinets, standing out from the others. Their reedy timbre and higher pitch than the rest of the ensemble

The cornetto is wind instrument made out of wood that has been used throughout Europe for centuries, from the 1400s to the 1600s. It’s also called the cornett, which is not to be confused with brass instrument called the cornet, an instrument similar to the trumpet. The cornetto is a hybrid instrument: it is a combination between a woodwind and a brass instrument. It’s made out of a long and slender tube, curved to one side, that had open finger holes. The way the cornett produced sound was by blowing

Music would not be music if it were not for the sound produced by an object we know of as an instrument. “A musical instrument is a device created or adapted to make musical sounds (Oxford dictionary (British & World English)).” Music dates back to many years and even before electrical instruments humans alway found a way to create sound. Whether it was by clapping, singing or humming people alway created ways to create sound. Although not a proven fact, I strongly believe music is a way to connect

under the instruction and supervision of Mr. Gonzales. We started in a timeline beginning at the very first instrument ever, the heart. The heart was the very first “beat” and clave was formed based on this “beat”. Clave is the foundation of almost every Latin song and most songs found around the world. Developed in Africa as one the earliest beats, clave was played on one of the first instruments, the Bongo drums. All drums are based after this drum which is still widely used in Africa for celebrations
