This school is currently being attended by 15 students.<\/p>\n\n
The Trombone, the Euphonium and the Tuba belong to the Copper Winds, because they consist of copper or brass pipes. The musicians who play the instruments in the parades and other performances, are usually placed in the back of the orchestra, due to the heavy tone of the instruments. It is worth mentioning that in some services of the Band such as that of Good Friday, in addition to the aforementioned musical instruments, the band also includes two musicians who play Suzafon, an instrument which also belongs to the group of wind bass.<\/p>\n\n
A few words about the musical instruments of this school.<\/p>\n\n
The trombone is a brass instrument. It is a peculiar variant of the trumpet. It was probably created around 1450 in the Burgundy region. It first appeared in military orchestras and in the 16th century was used in symphonic orchestras. In its long history it has undergone many changes in its form. Today it consists of a tube of fixed length and three other cylinders fitted with “keys”. Its sonority is very rich, but its tonality does not change.<\/p>\n\n
Euphonium is the biggest musical instrument of the Band after Tuba. It has a deep and sweet tone of color and it usually plays the role of the Opera Baritone Choir. It is the leading musical instrument, which is why it has big parts in the scores. Euphonium was used in symphonic orchestras in the 20th century, because it is one of the newest instruments of the orchestra and few composers have written about them in their musical pieces. \n<\/p>\n\n
The tuba is the largest in size and the lowest in volume brass instrument. The sound is produced by vibration or buzzing from the lips in a large hollow mouthpiece. It is one of the most recent additions to the modern symphonic orchestra. It first appeared in the middle of the 19th century. Tuba is in Latin the trumpet or the horn. The horn mentioned is similar to what is known as a baroque trumpet. It is a wind instrument with 4 or 5 valves, which belongs to the brass bands of the symphonic orchestra. It has a wide, conical tube, a wide bell and a cup-shaped mouthpiece. It is characterized by its large size and deep sound. Playing the tuba requires strength in the lungs due to its size, as it must be constantly filled with air.<\/p>\n\n
The first mounds were built in the 1830s in Berlin and have since come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They are used in both symphonic orchestras and military bands. There are different preferences in the construction details of the instrument, on one hand in France and England, where the instrument has a narrower perforation and on the other hand in Germany and Eastern Europe, where the mounds produce a sound slightly similar to the church organ.<\/p>\n\n
The tuba produces very low sounds and its role in the symphony orchestra is to support the double bass. It is obvious that this instrument usually stays with its sound in the background and there are few works in which it dominates. In the concerto for the Bartok Orchestra, the sound of the mound escapes from the rest of the orchestra. Depending on the species, its length varies from three to four meters. The body also has three to six valves.<\/p>\n\n
