Today's Brass lesson

The children have enjoyed their second brass lesson today.  Mr Penfold worked with the children on rhythm and pitch and showed them how to create a siren sound using two notes.  The children also had their valves oiled and slides lubricated as well as watching an entertaining and inspiring brass quartet playing some well known tunes on the interactive whiteboard.
Mr Penfold has asked them to try to introduce themselves by blowing the rhythm of their names on the mouthpiece and to practice the siren sound on the mouthpiece and with the two notes as they have been shown.
The more the valves are pressed the less likely they are to stick!
Happy playing!
