Wind

Flute

The flute looks like a narrow tube with a row of holes covered by keys along one side. The player blows air across the small hole in the mouthpiece to produce a sound that can be either soft and mellow or high and piercing.

Clarinet

The clarinet produces a fluid sound when air is blown between a single reed and the mouthpiece.
By pressing metal keys with the fingers of both hands, the player has the ability to play many different notes very quickly. They come in different types and sizes: Bass, which has a curved bell and neck like a saxophone, Alto, and E flat. The player produces notes by blowing air between a single reed and mouthpiece and pressing metal keys on the body of the clarinet. They can be played solo or in wind bands, orchestras, and traditional jazz bands. They are popular, so competition for that place in the orchestra is fierce.

Saxophone

The saxophone is the only woodwind instrument made of brass. Although it is found only occasionally in the symphony orchestra, it is considered a member of the woodwind family because it has a single reed like the clarinet. There are different types of saxophone: soprano, alto, soprano, tenor, baritone, bass, contrabass. The body is normally made of brass and sound is produced by blowing across a reed while fingering the keys that cover the 18-21 holes along its length.

Trumpet

The trumpet is the highest sounding member of the brass family. The three valves on the top of the trumpet produce notes when they are pressed in different combinations. To play the trumpet you have to vibrate your lips over the mouthpiece, like blowing a raspberry, with the end directly forward. It is a very popular instrument in jazz, pop and with some classical composers
