OVERVIEW
Woodwind instruments used to be made out of wood
They are now made of wood, metal, plastic or a combination of these
Woodwind instruments are basically tubes with holes in them
They have an opening at the bottom and a mouthpiece at the top
You play these instruments by blowing air through the mouthpiece

OVERVIEW CONTINUED
You change the pitch on these instruments by opening and closing their holes
Some mouthpieces of woodwind instruments use a piece of wood called a reed
Reeds are usually thin pieces of bamboo wood
You vibrate these reeds by blowing across it; vibrating the air inside the instrument
The smaller the woodwind instrument is, the higher the pitch and vice versa
