Woodwind Instrument Answers
Looking for the name of a harp song that features a woodwind instrument?
Q. This is really specific but I was at canobie lake park the other day and i heard this beautiful harp music. the harp was in the background and there was some woodwind instrument playing, like an oboe or something. i'm not really sure what it was. but it was not a flute or clarinet.

A. Fluffy's Harp by John Williams is a piece for Harp and Contrabasson, or maybe just Bassoon...somet imes Bassoons are mistaken for oboes because of the double reed. If you look on this website, there is a link under the Elysian Ensemble part that contains a few samples of music with the titles, maybe one of them is the song you heard:

How hard would it be to switch from Trumpet to a woodwind instrument?
Q. I've been thinking about switching instruments, would it be easier to switch to a different brass instrument (like trombone)???
Asked by emily_yo_301 - Mon Oct 13 22:26:01 2008 - Performing Arts - 3 Answers - 1 Comments
A. I'm a trumpet player so this will come straight from experience. I've played trumpet for about 5-6 years and i switched to baritone which is another brass instrument for 2 years. It was the same fingering for the notes if you played treble clef and mainly the same except you need alot more air support for low brass instruments like baritone, trombone, tuba, and so on. I also am in the process to learning to play the alto sax which is a woodwind instrument and i can tell you this much. It is way easier to learn the standard notes but im getting caught up with fingering the sharp and flat notes. So end of my answer is go for another brass instrument since you have a wide variety of brass instruments to choose from.

A. Bassoon? Contrabasoon? Lakota Love Flute? Oboe? English Horn? (I'd go with the Lakota Love Flute and study Native music, it's ethereal, especially when it's just the Lakota Love Flute and maybe some chanting in the background! Not sure if Ocarinas count. Wood whistles? (I played many when I played percussion (along with all the bigger percussion stuff)

How to switch from playing a woodwind instrument to a brass instrument?
Q. For more info, I play clarinet in the concert band at my school, but my band director said that I could switch to the mellophone for marching band, but I have to learn it over the summer. Anyone got any tips on how I can switch from playing a woodwind instrument to learning how to play a brass instrument (In the matter of 2 months)?

A. I have actually done this. You obviously know how to read sheet music, so it shouldn't be that difficult. You should ask someone that already plays a brass instrument (trombone excluded) to help you learn the keying of the notes. It's honestly not as difficult as you think!

The pitch of a woodwind instrument is controlled by the holes.?
Q. What is changing about the instrument when different holes are covered up?
Asked by glamour girl - Thu Oct 4 02:02:17 2007 - Physics - 2 Answers - Comments
A. The effective length of the resonator tube is changed. If all the holes are covered, the sound wave must go the entire length of the tube to produce a standing wave. If the holes are big enough in relation to the diameter of the tube, such as on a flute, the effect of uncovering such a hole is much the same as chopping the end of the tube off at that point. Smaller holes such as those in clarinets and oboes have a less drastic effect but still have an effect on the resonance frequencies of the tube. The register key on a clarinet works on a somewhat different principle. When this hole is opened, the resonance of the fundamental is killed, but the third harmonic has a vibrational pressure node there and is relatively insensitive to the… [cont.]

A. The frequency is the ratio of the speed of sound and the wavelength. The wavelength is basically dependent on the length of the air column inside the instrument but the speed of sound depends on square root of the temperature in degrees Kelvin. So warming up will increase the frequency

Asked by Smccullough - Sat Mar 20 18:07:05 2010 - Classical - 5 Answers - Comments
A. In general probably the easiest woodwind to learn is the saxophone and most instrumental programs start beginning students on the alto sax. The flute and clarinet, in that order, are the next easiest to learn. Some programs start youngsters on oboe or bassoon, but these are more challenging. Each instrument has its own set of special requirements and challenges, even the alto sax. Embouchure (lip and mouth formation) are different for each. Larger instruments (sax for example) require a little larger hand size and finger spread and are somewhat heavier. Some students find the clarinet difficult to balance when they first start. Flute players are challenged by the amount of air needed - part goes in the flute and part blows into space! You… [cont.]

What woodwind instrument is easier to play for a petite child, besides the recorder?
Q. She is most concerned about wanting a woodwind instrument that takes the least amount of effort to get a sound out of as well.
Asked by Bee-LoK - Mon Oct 23 00:02:17 2006 - Performing Arts - 11 Answers - 1 Comments
A. Clarinet is one of the easier instruments to begin on. There is no woodwind instrument that takes as little effort as the recorder, but the clarinet is about as close as it gets. It's also pretty easy to hold. Flute can be very difficult at first and she must have some patience if she wants to play it. If she is petite, if you choose flute ask your music store about a curved headjoint (run a Google search for it if you want to see what I'm talking about). It makes the flute shorter. Petite kids can have a difficult time holding the instrument.

Opinion: What do you think beethoven's favorite woodwind instrument was?

Which woodwind instrument has the most powerful expression and air if in solo?
Q.
Asked by Crimson (silly mid off) - Mon Mar 16 12:48:43 2009 - Classical - 8 Answers - Comments
A. Wow -- good question. For me it's a toss-up between the clarinet and the cor anglais. The clarinet has the advantage because of it's three distinct registers -- almost three instruments in one. But the tone of the cor anglais is like no other -- warmer and richer than the oboe, more versatile than the bassoon, and closer to a vocal range. I am surprised it is not used in more literature than it is. I'm gonna go with the cor. Tough choice. Cheers Glinzek

How do I make a woodwind instrument using household items?
Q. It's a project for school and it must make at least three distinct sounds by blowing and covering holes or operating keys. It also must be made of at least three different items. I'm willing to read any instructions, tips, suggestions, ideas, etc. that you may have. Thanks!
Asked by ZOMBIE NATION - Wed Nov 7 01:22:35 2007 - Hobbies & Crafts - 3 Answers - Comments
A. Not necessarly a household item but get a fresh branch off a tree, not a tiny one but one you can work with. Tap it gently with something to loosen the bark and slip it off without breaking it. With something sharp, cut a tapering wedge (it doesn't have to be deep or wide just enough to allow for the holes you will make later.) down the length of the wood. Cut round holes evenly spaced in the bark and slip it back onto the wood. Depending on how long the branch is and how many holes you cut you should have several note of music.

Is it bad to play a woodwind instrument for a long period of time without stopping?
Q. It sometimes hurts my lips when I play my saxophone for about an hour straight. Is this bad and should I take more brakes?
Asked by Kuan Jiang - Sun Nov 15 14:06:53 2009 - Performing Arts - 3 Answers - Comments
A. I wouldn't say it's bad. Since your face has to be somewhat tense to play a reed instrument (or so I've heard; I'm a flute player!) it's only natural for your lips to be sore after you play for a while. One of the reasons your face might hurt is a lack of a proper warm-up. I usually warm up for 5-10 minutes. If I don't, my chin and lips start to hurt a bit, so I really can't imagine what it'd be like for a sax. So before you move on to your music, play some scales, do long tones, and tune yourself. Hopefully it'll help!

A. If we're talking about a band and they are all playing together at the same time, I'd have to go with the brass - more specifically the trumpet. It will blow everything away and definitely sound clean if played correctly. Plus unlike some of the other instruments, you will definitely know its a trumpet!

A. If we're talking about a band and they are all playing together at the same time, I'd have to go with the brass - more specifically the trumpet. It will blow everything away and definitely sound clean if played correctly. Plus unlike some of the other instruments, you will definitely know its a trumpet!
