Let's Progress (Grade 1 Course)
Grade 1 Course
In this book you will meet:
- new notes, extending your range both higher and lower
- new rhythms, ¾ time
- sharps, flats and key signatures
- slurring
- quavers
No doubt it will be challenging, but as you progress through the lessons you will be preparing yourself well to join the band. Once again you will be encouraged to perform your favourite pieces to family and friends and no doubt the bandleader will want to listen in occasionally. And on completing the Finale! (Grade 1 Course Assessment) there will still be a lot more to learn, but you will be ready to take your place in the Young People’s Band!

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.
