Let's Play
Our aim over the next weeks, months and hopefully years is to enjoy ourselves making music.
In this book we will:
- learn how to hold the instrument and how to breath properly!
- learn how to buzz our lips and to use our tongue to start our notes.
- meet lots of well known tunes, but using just 5 notes, (C, D, E, F & G).
- learn many of the rhythm patterns possible in 4/4 time.
- improve our listening skills as we play along with the backing tracks.
As you progress through the lessons you will be encouraged to perform, perhaps to mums, dads or friends. And at some stage it would be great for the Bandleader to hear you play.

Let's Play
The Elementary Course provides an exciting and challenging early introduction to brass playing. Intentionally, using just the first 5 notes (C-G), the course allows and encourages the important early development of a brass player’s most vital commodity, the lips!
Let's Progress
The Grade 1 Course extends the range to middle C and sets out to provide our beginners with the basic essentials, preparing them to tackle some of the challenges they will meet in their first experiences of playing in the Young People’s Band.
Let's Perform
The Grade 2 Course introduces a series of targets intended to help with the further challenges that will be met by our young musicians as they further develop in their early band repertoire.
