This year has seen some outstanding performances by senior brass students, most notably the ABRSM Grade 8 pass achieved by Calum Maule in SGY2. This time we have decided to highlight some of the outstanding progress that has been made by some of the beginner brass students. There have been 9 new students taking up brass instruments this year and 2 of the newest recruits are highlighted here. Jeremiah had been playing trumpet for 3 weeks and Aidan playing euphonium for 2 weeks when these videos were recorded. I’m sure you’ll agree that they’ve made fantastic progress in such a short period of time!
