At first, flutes were just a hollow stick with holes in it. Over time, people improved it, and it became a beautiful, shiny instrument. When you blow into the flute and cover or uncover the holes, the wind travels shorter or farther, making different sounds. The flute can be found in many types of music, from orchestral music, to cultural music from around the world.

A man named Antoine-Joseph Sax invented the saxophone over one hundred eighty years ago. It's a shiny instrument made of brass with a curvy shape. When you blow into the mouthpiece and press the keys, it makes different sounds. The saxophone is popular in many types of music because it can be smooth and jazzy or loud and energetic! It's considered a woodwind instrument instead of a brass instrument because of the wooden reed in the mouthpiece.
