This is a hands-on course focusing on a basic mechanical understanding of each wind instrument in the band. Focusing on a “if that, then what?” mindset, our instructor will expand upon the directors’ given understanding of wind instruments, demonstrate the mechanisms and how they work and explain this all from a repair viewpoint. All woodwind and brass wind instruments will be covered as well as basic nomenclature of keys/mechanisms and easy adjustments.
“Quick fixes” and what NOT to do when repairing will also be addressed. The class covers how to use the tools and supplies from the repair kits.
