Brass
Trumpet, Trombone and PBuzz
pBuzz
The pBuzz is the perfect introduction to brass and we hope to begin teaching on this instrument soon so we can inspire the next generation of Brass players. Perhaps you could help us teach it?
Cleaning
Why not ask an adult to help give your instrument a bath? Every now and again it needs it. This must not be attempted without knowing you have the right equipment, so watch the videos first.
If playing trumpet, be sure you have oil and slide grease to apply when you put it back together or you'll have an instrument with more problems than before it was washed! You can buy supplies on online and have them delivered....
