What you will learn
You will learn how to hold the instrument correctly, and various lip vibration and breathing techniques. You will also learn how to read sheet music and begin to play extracts from some well-loved pieces of music
Make a good sound
Learning how to hold the instrument and form the correct lip shape (embouchure) will help you to make a good, consistent sound. You will also start to explore how to control your breathing and tonguing to sound notes clearly.
Play well-known tunes
When you have learnt just a few notes, you will be able to play a selection of tunes in different musical styles.
Learn to read musical notation
As you learn to play different tunes, you will also be introduced to musical notation. As you become more confident reading music, a whole world of musical opportunities will open up!
Making Music with Others
Making music is a fun and sociable activity and after just a few weeks you will be ready to make music with others. Brass, percussion and woodwind players may also be interested in joining our Adult Concert Band that meets weekly in Brighton..
