Welcome!

Welcome to the new First things First website!

First things first, which has proved very popular since its inception in 2008, is The Salvation Army’s music training series. This is aimed at developing brass playing, from picking up the instrument for the very first time, and progressing through to playing in a small ensemble.

Please register using the link to the left to make full use of the online resources. For students there is free access to download all the backing tracks which accompany tutor books. Teachers also have access to the online Course Assessment form and Course Certificates through the "My Account" or "Let's Assess!" pages.

This is just the start! Over the coming months we plan to develop the site with additional tutorial videos, more backing tracks, new learners’ music and much more!
