Synopsis

Wild About Brass is an essential resource for brass teachers. Aural, creative, notation and ensemble activities are clearly described, with step-by-step guidance. Pupils will develop their love of music making, and will progress in all areas of instrumental learning, working first with just two notes, then five notes, then eight. Activities will help pupils to:
• improve their reading skills
• improvise melodies
• work out tunes by ear
• learn new pieces without notation
Activities are:
• Easy to fit into weekly lessons
• Suitable for individual, small and large group lessons, including several for ensemble and whole class
• Easy to combine with the tutor books and methods pupils are currently using
• Accompanied by photocopiable and audio resources for you to use in lessons, and for your pupils to use in home practice
• Performed almost exclusively on the instrument, integrating with, and consolidating pupils’ technical learning
• Created to give pupils the thrill of participating in real music making
• Ideal for all brass instruments, beginner to grade 1. Ensemble material can be put together for instrument-specific groups, or for mixed brass.
