Although woodwind and brass typically fall under the wind instruments category, the woodwind family is a great place for a beginning musician to start. These instruments are generally easier to play because of the way the air is blown into them, and many musicians who begin their music education with an instrument from the woodwind family eventually move on to learn how to play instruments in the brass family. From the clarinet to the flute, find out what makes each of the woodwind instruments so special. Clarinet
The clarinet, a single-reed instrument played by blowing into a mouthpiece, was heavily favored by Mozart. In fact, he featured the clarinet in several solos throughout his compositions. Due to its sheer versatility, the clarinet is featured in genres that range from classical and jazz to military and marching bands. Closely associated with early jazz and Dixieland music, the clarinet quickly became a staple of Big Band and Swing music. Included in the clarinet family are soprano, bass, B flat, and E flat clarinets- each producing a slightly different sound.
