Woodwind Instruments

That's correct. That's the French name for the English horn, which is a larger version of the oboe.

adolphe sax invented the alto saxophone first, i believe

Its the same : Trombone. Probably because it's an Italian name (Tromba which means trumpet and the suffix One which means big).

Why does it sound like spit is in my trumpet, but when I go to empty both of the spit valves, nothing comes out, but then when I shake my trumpet, spit comes out the bottom caps of the regular 3 playing valves? Please help I have never had this issue before.

Well a classical song that the oboe is used in is the Oboe Concerto.

A good rock song it is used in is Reign of Love by Coldplay.

Hope this helps.

You can listen to them on Grooveshark.

It depends on the orchestra you are in! The director places the instruments in a particular order for the best blend of sounds produced by the orchestra. Typically, a symphony orchestra does not have parts for saxophones, however when the music calls for a saxophone to be played, the saxophone generally fits into the woodwind sections with the clarinets, flutes, oboes, and bassoons.

The the thin strip of cane on a mouthpiece on a woodwind instrument is called a reed.

"I enjoyed the woodwind quintet recital, but I would have liked to have heard more oboe solos."

The sound of the french horn can be altered by sticking your hand in the bell. The farther you put it in, the more muted it sounds, but it also makes it a little flat. Also, every french horn has a different sounds, so you can try a differnent one and it can be like a whole different instrument.

Between 36" and 42" depending on which company made it and if it has a low-C, low-Eb, or low-E range.

It's possible to extend the height with the floor peg on some models as high as 5'+ at the mouthpiece but that's due to the height of the peg, not the instrument.

A good rule of thumb for the height of things, door knobs and window sills are about 3' from the floor. Stand a bass clarinet on the floor without the peg extended and it's just about the same height (or a little higher) as a door-knob.

There are about 2 dozen types of clarinets, from soprano, bass to piccolo etc...

some are use with mouth piece, some are longer others shorter some look like a skinny saxophone, which one would you like to know about?

Woodwinds produce their sound by air passing over their reeds, when you blow into a woodwind instrument it passes over the reed, causing it to vibrate. These vibrations then travel through the instrument, become amplified and then upon leaving the instrument, generate the sound they make.

No its a brasswind instrument. It is played by buzzing the lips into a cupped mouthpiece and uses its length of brass tubing to generate the tones. There are valves that are used to change the length of the horn to produce more tones. There are no reeds used in making the tones.

Here is more information about the Sousaphone: It was created at the request of John Philip Sousa (Band leader and composer of many American popular marching band songs.) The Sousaphone was developed by adapting the bell of the Helicon (a form of tuba that wraps around the body and rests on one shoulder to allow playing while marching or on horseback.) The first Sousaphones had bells that point straight up in the air and could also be turned to point forward. Sousa used these horns in both concert and marching formations. Later versions used in other major American bands had the bell arranged to rotate left or right but was tipped forward at a fixed angle (as it is currently.)

Sousaphones are in use worldwide and are made by many musical instrument companies. The Sousaphone is considered slightly different to the Tuba in sound quality, but can play exactly the same notes. Some Tubas have more valves than Sousaphones for increased range and improved intonation.

Sousaphones are seen in high school and college marching and "Pep" bands, Military Bands, Jazz, Rock and Funk bands, where the comfortable playing position and sound projection are appreciated. Helicons are still in production and are very popular in Southern European brass bands.

its a chime

The best for the beginners is to use a soft reed than what professionals usually use. The best size is 2.0 which is not too soft and not too hard. This will help you train your embouchure and your air control.

Same notes as in twinkle twinkle little star not gonna give the direct answer because it is a class assignment

To keep your clarinet in good shape, you will need to purchase a few things. You will need cork grease, a cleaner that goes through the clarinet(so it gets all the saliva), a thumb rest(its rubbery and usually black) for your thumb so it doesnt go numb and a reed gaurd(so it keeps your reed in shape).

No. She only plays piano, guitar, ukulele, and the 12-string guitar.

Taylor Swift had only touched the clarinet for the music video "You Belong With Me".

Open your throat, drop your jaw, imagine you are saying "oh." Use lots of air.

He obviously has lots of saxophones but the only clue I've got is for his Alto Sax, his primary alto is Selmer Mark VI.
