Researching Two Wind Instruments




In This Assignment,I am researching two wind instruments. The Instruments are Alto Saxophone and Trumpet.


 ALTO SAXOPHONE:This Instrument belongs to the woodwind family.It produces sound by pushing air into the mouthpiece,the moving air causes the reed to vibrate at that same frequency and a pitch to sound.
It is made of brass and metal.Charlie Parker is a famous Saxophone Musician 
and plays Jazz.I like this instrument because i like the sound of it     when you play it and it looks cool.You can listen to him at him at

TRUMPET:This Instrument belongs to the brass family.
It produces sound by blowing air through closed lips and making a ''buzzing'' sound into the mouthpiece and starting a standing wave vibration in the air column inside the trumpet.It is made of metal and brass.Louis Armstrong is a famous Trumpet player.He played Jazz.I like this instrument because it sounds nice and smooth.You can hear him play at
