Brass Odds & Ends
All sorts ... 

Here you will find:

An article about keeping safe when using this site – learn to look out for the ❗ which warns you when you are leaving it.

Our next article is about the sad and confusing fact that our cornet and tenor horn notes don't match the flute, violin or piano unless someone does a bit of fixing-upping … no, it's not that bad, we can cope!

There are loads of other articles there. Many are links to videos that I think you ought to see; there are also quizzes and other little bits and pieces that you might find interesting … or maybe even useful!  There are some new tunes for you to play - go and have a look! I probably need to reorganize the Odds and Ends page before it gets too messy, but I need to figure this out carefully first. Videos, and links to videos, are a huge topic that I want to sort out properly.

Brass Ensemble
