Y7 Brass Workshop

Category: Music, News

All 210 Y7 students were entertained brilliantly listening to Graham South and the Cavendish brass quintet perform their annual in house brass workshop. This links to the Instruments of the Orchestra topic and also ties in with the Music Department’s promotion of endangered brass instruments.

The players performed a wide variety of brass repertoire from Renaissance through to Jazz and film and students also enjoyed hearing each player individually demonstrate their instrument: trumpets, french horn, trombone and tuba. It was great to see lots of Y7s take a letter with an offer of a free taster brass lesson if they were considering starting to play an instrument and liked the idea of learning an instrument from this diverse family.

Thankyou so much to Mr South and his colleagues for performing so professionally and infusing the demonstrations with humour. We all especially were impressed with the beat boxing tuba player!
