A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Scoring for winds

Scoring for winds focuses on the unique range, transposition, timbre, and articulatory possibilities of each wind instrument. Mastering these aspects lets a composer write idiomatic parts that exploit the instrument’s strengths and avoid technical pitfalls.
