HOW OLD DOES A STUDENT NEED TO BE TO GET STARTED?
You are never too old to learn any musical instrument - but...
why not get an early start?
As soon your child has grown their permanent front teeth (around seven years old - 2nd/3rd grade) they are able to begin learning a brass horn! The BBA's structured step by step program will ensure your child develops valuable practice habits and begins building a solid musical foundation.
Learning to Play a Musical Instrument
will help build your child's character by developing
skills and mindsets that will last a lifetime:
Bugle Boot Camp (1-6 weeks) is a physical conditioning program
that will prepare your student to begin cornet lessons by starting with the
Cornet Bugle. This instrument has been designed by, and manufactured
exclusively for The Brass Band Academy. It is built using
the body of the traditional British short model cornet and
and will produce a beautiful mellow sound. Practicing a
few simple exercises each day will start building your student's lip
muscles and get them off to a running start on the cornet. Listening to short recorded
MP3 files will begin developing their listening skills and help organize their daily practice
time. Weekly group lessons establish clear goals and practice objectives to show your child exactly what they need to do each step of the way. After four to six weeks in Bugle
Boot Camp they will be ready to add three valves and get started in the Cornet Class!
