Instruments of a Concert Band

22/8/2015

0 Comments

 
If you were asked to name an instrument that is played in a Concert Band, some of you may be stumped for an answer, and some of you may take a guess and come up with perhaps trumpet, clarinet or saxophone. These of course are correct, but if you were asked to name the different types of saxophones in the band then you may not know, and in all honesty why should you?

Well, to help those of you who would like to know more about the make-up of a concert band we will be creating numerous posts throughout the coming weeks and months, covering the main instruments with numerous photos, be sure to look out for our mascot Barney too!

They will be categorised into three sections: woodwind, brass and percussion.

You will notice that there are no strings, such as you would find in an orchestra, so no violins, cellos etc., although the string bass (bass guitar or double bass) may be used from time to time.
