This family of instruments mostly look alike, apart from their size, and are played in much the same way. Their strings are either strummed, plucked or vibrated with a bow to produce deep, rich sounds. Music Works Magic currently has teachers available for tuition in:
Guitar; Bass Guitar; Cello; Viola; Violin; Double Bass; Harp; Ukulele
The instruments in this section of the orchestra are all played with ‘wind’ from the musician’s mouth.
The flute and piccolo are played by blowing air across the mouthpiece. Most other Woodwind instruments use a reed which vibrates, creating a sound, when the musician blows on it.
The musician creates a variety of notes by covering different holes, or pressing down on different keys while blowing into the instrument.
