I have always loved this site! I just finished my music education degree, actually. While in my years learning piano, I took some of the pieces that you guys had arranged and learned to play them in my piano class. (That was how I got past piano) I am a flute player by nature.

But I have a request, actually.... well sort of.....

Did you know that a Wind Ensemble actually has no strings in it? A Wind Ensemble is composed of woodwinds, brass, and percussion. In fact, it would be what you might find in a school or on the marching field (some times for marching bands there are no woodwind instruments). A String Orchestra is composed of only strings (violin, viola, cello, and bass is the normal set up in scoring for this). An Orchestra describes an ensemble that has a blend of winds, strings, and percussion. A couple instruments that can some times float between the groups are harp and piano.
For the most part, that is it!

I thought this might be a helpful post as your site begins to head in the direction of different ensembles and instrumentations. (Which, by the way, I think is really awesome!) This site has grown quite a bit since I was in that piano class in college!

I took all the Scoring for Film courses offered at my school and fell in love with the idea of writing music for film and all that goes with it. Honestly, seeing all these arrangements of pieces makes me inspired to try orchestrating some pieces for practice.
