TRIANGLES!
History
-Originally an Arabic War Instrument
-Completely closed shape originally
MODERN TRIANGLES (Think Andy Warhol)
-Always have an open end
-Play with the hand of the opposite side of the open end
-Playing spot is on the bottom corner (closed end)
-Play on the inside
-Play at a 45 degree angle
-Focus on hitting the same spot because there are a variety of sounds
Rolls (It's what's for breakfast)
-Between 2 sides of the closed corner (top or side--whatever is more comfortable)
-Crescendo (start in the corner and move toward the center)

- Steel (More overtones - more versatile)
- Brass (Darker - more complex sound)
