windinstrumentplaying
Wind instrument playing is the act of producing sound by vibrating a column of air within a wind instrument. This is typically achieved by a player blowing air into or across an opening in the instrument. The pitch of the sound is controlled by altering the length of the vibrating air column, often through the use of keys, valves, or by changing the embouchure, which is the way the player shapes their mouth and lips against the mouthpiece.
Different types of wind instruments employ distinct methods of initiating and modifying the air column's vibration.
