No, only joking. It is people who are keen on brass and want to do a bit more than we can fit into the lessons. You don't have to be the best player in the world: you do need to be trying hard with your brass and you need to be prepared to attend rehearsals and work hard. Music reading helps too – you don't have to already be great at it but you do need to be willing to work with me on improving your reading. Remember – reading music is not rocket science; it is a simple code.
You bet it does. Brilliant hats.
Our next work is this popular jazz classic. If you go to the Saints page you can get music, backings at different speeds, and lots more information about our new tune.
Living for the City is the tune on which we were working when the pandemic closed us down. On its page you will find the music, our computer backing, information about the song and links to performances.
I was so pleased with the way that Brass Ensemble absolutely nailed our backing for the huge all-school song This is my Wish. Well done Brass Ensemble! I was very proud of you.
If you would like to go back and have a look at what we worked on, you can still visit its web page, which is right here. Just click. The page has now been updated to our new style, and has an improved version of the computer audio: it won't fool you that it is real musicians but it sounds a lot better than the old one!
