TEST YOURSELF II
Woodwinds
1. Flute, oboe, clarinet, and saxophone. The oboe
family is sometimes called the double reed family
because it also comprises the bassoons.
2. The lip position used to blow into the instrument.
3. Blowing harder through the instrument so that
partials other than the fundamental are sounded.

b. soprano saxophone

6. Play a passage in one breath

7. By the lips and the jaw; by the throat muscles; by
the abdominal muscles; by a combination of throat
and abdominal muscles.
8. Non vibrato, senza vibrato, sometimes white
tone.
9. Double tounging, teke; triple tonguing, teteke
or tekete
10. A fluttering or rolling of a tone like a whir (perceived perhaps like an unmeasured tremolo in
strings); Flatterzunge
11. a 2
12. 2.
13. It is used to designate a solo passage as being of
great importance or to alert both player and conductor that this passage is the most significant one
at a given moment. But this designation is superfluous because 1. or 2. will suffice to designate
a solo passage and assume that it will be played by

only one player. In many ways the word solo is

confusing in woodwind solo passages.
14. A technique that uses special fingerings and attacks to enable a woodwind player to play multiple
pitches simultaneously.
15. Key clicks; blowing air through the instrument
without sounding pitches; removing the reed
or mouthpiece and simply blowing through it;
special bending and portamento effects,
and so forth.

19. A slight break in sound that occurs between Bb4
and Bn4. Bb is played with no fingers covering any
holes while the Bn requires closing all holes except
the vent hole.

i. bassoon

20. Go below the lowest pitch in their range (strings

can do this with scordatura tunings); play loud
or soft in every part of their range (except for the
clarinet); sustain pitches or play extended passages
for an unreasonably long time without taking a
breath (oboes are able to play longer passages in
one breath than the other woodwinds).

c. English horn: deep and rich, mellow and reedy,

TEST YOURSELF IV
Percussion and Keyboard
1. a. idiophones: instruments that produce their
sound by striking the body of the instrument,
thereby vibrating the entire body of the instrument (triangles, cymbals, woodblocks, marimbas, vibraphones, xylophones, chimes, etc.).
b. membranophones: instruments that have a
stretched skin or membrane over a shell, which
is struck by a hand, stick, or mallet (drums).
c. aerophones: instruments that produce their
sound by blowing through a pipe (whistles and
sirens).
2. A definite-pitch instrument sounds an exact written pitch; an indefinite-pitch instrument sound
an approximate pitch, or simply a high, low, or
medium pitch.
3. For pitched percussion instruments, on a five-line
staff. For nonpitched percussion instruments, on a
one-, two-, or three-line staff.

4. The number of players necessary to perform the

piece; the number of instruments each performer is
asked to play.

11. Mechanically, by raising or lowering a foot pedal,

or manually, by tightening or loosening the drum
head; 30-inch, 28-inch, 25-inch, 23-inch, and
21-inch.

12. Tom-toms and timbales are drums that come in

four sizes (two pairs of two drums each), graded
from high to low in pitch. Tom-toms are higher in
pitch than timbales because they are smaller and
have a shallower body. The timbales metal shell
produces a more piercing or metallic sound.

sounds one octave higher

(If the student puts E6 for the highest note of the

celesta, it is correct if they understand that only a
few instruments go that high.)
17. Because of its inherent percussive quality (its hammers strike the strings) the piano has been used to
give an added ping to individual notes or chords,
as well as to give a pizzicato effect by manually
plucking the strings or hitting them with a mallet
or beater.

c. drag:

14. A chordophone, usually trapezoid shaped, laid flat

on a table, with metal strings struck by leather or
wooden mallets. It has a four-octave range, with all
chromatic tones available.

d. roll:

13. a. triangle: metal beaters

b. tom-tom: drumsticks, timpani mallets
c. cymbals: drumsticks, brushes, soft mallets
d. conga drum: hands, drumsticks, timpani mallets
e. crotales: metal beaters

or

9. Finger cymbals are nonpitched; crotales are

pitched.
10. Two strips of hard wood clapped together to
produce a hard stroke.

18. xylophones: 8va; glockenspiel, 15ma; celesta, 8va;

cro- tales, 8va
19. Various objects are either laid on top or stuck in
between the piano strings to alter the sound and
sometimes the pitch of the instrument.
