Brass Teachers
Play your favourite tunes for big band, jazz, or classical music!
The go-to brass instrument that is usually the leader of the band! An easy instrument to transport, trumpet lessons are a great way to get dip your toes into a world of music. Join a big band or orchestra and toot away on the trumpet, or the trombone! Lessons are held weekly during school terms, with other ensemble opportunities throughout the year to partake.
The trombone is one of the most unique instruments in the brass section. There are no confusing buttons, keys, or finger combinations to deal with. A slider allows you to adjust the pitch, producing loud, unmistakable sounds.
The Penrith Youth Orchestra is always on the lookout for new brass players.
