The word bleat has appeared in eight articles on NYTimes.com in the past year, including on June 19 in “Covid Stopped the Music. Now This School Is Striking Up the Band Again” by Sarah Diamond:
Surrounded by classroom walls hung with colorful violins and music theory posters, Roshan Reddy counted to three. He raised his palm, a chorus of shiny horns and woodwinds hummed to life, and the first notes of Adele’s “Easy on Me” filled the band room at P.S. 11 elementary school in Brooklyn.
Despite clarinet squeaks and the occasional bleat of a rogue saxophone, almost every student was smiling.
