“WRITING for WINDS” Work in Progress
The first 5 lessons Writing for Winds have been released in the ScoreClub membership.
Writing for Winds is a course aimed at writing idiomatically for winds.
The lessons will focus on the main orchestral wind instruments in a high amount of detail with the goal of providing a clear roadmap to idiomatic writing.
The end goal will be for the student to have a deep understanding of each instrument so that doublings and voicings for orchestra become logical and not relying on charts and lists.
The course is a work-in-Pprogress. Here is the current lesson list and duration for each lesson.
FOUNDATION
- Introduction and Construction (13:19)

- Flute Part 1: Range, Dynamics and Timbre (25:22)

Amazing Information and Value
These are incredible videos and packed with amazing information and value. I learned so much already as to how I need to approach the winds instruments.
Thank you so much for what you’re doing for this amazing community!
NEW: MUSICIAN MASTERCLASS
