Abstract

See full text

A closed end woodwind instrument is provided designed for use with an inventive teaching method, notation system, and repertory. The combined system is designed for teaching basics of music and to provide a simple, convenient and enjoyable instrument. The instrument is formed of a body, which defines an internal cavity. A mouthpiece has a windway that connects to the internal cavity. The windway allows a user to blow air through the mouthpiece into the cavity and through the instrument. A labium is positioned along the windway, such that it splits air flowing through the windway. A plurality of tone holes are in communication with the internal cavity to allow air to exit the cavity. Upon blocking or opening these tone holes, different tones can be produced by the instrument.
