Watch video of the Feb. 17, 2011, class, “Brash Brass and the Mighty Winds.”
Mitchell Korn introduces to class participants the range, construction, sound production and history of brass and wind instruments. From conch shell and hunting horns to modern trumpets, oboes and horns, class participants get to blow as hard as they like as they firsthand learn the nature and sound creation of those instruments that require our very own air and breath.
The class is part of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute’s ”How to Listen to Classical Music” class, presented by Giancarlo Guerrero, music director and conductor, Nashville Symphony and Mitchell Korn, vice president for education and community, Nashville Symphony and 91Ʋ University Blair School of Music Distinguished Lecturer for Music and Community.
