Woodwinds!!
Woodwinds are instruments that were once made of wood or have a reed made of bamboo to help produce the sound, when you blow into the instrument.
Brass!!
Brass instruments are made of metal and you produce the sound by "buzzing" your lips together. You can produce many notes just by tightening and loosening your lips!
Percussion (Bell Kit and Snare Drum)
Percussion instruments are the instruments that produce a sound by hitting or striking the instrument with a stick, mallet or your hand.
All beginning percussionists will start on bell kit for the first half of the year and will switch at the semestre to snare drum.
Beginning percussion students should get a percussion kit. This should include: Bells with stand, Drum pad or snare or both and sticks and mallets.
