Brass & Wind Project Open House
Join us for our FREE Open House to learn more about the Brass & Wind Project, a program for students grades 3rd-6th who are interested in learning the musical skills essential to playing a band instrument.
In weekly large and small group classes, fundamental skills will be taught, allowing the student to thrive in a low-pressure and supportive environment. Skills taught include:
Body awareness skills: breathing, blowing, posture and how to properly hold an instrument.
Executive & technical: embouchure formation, finger control & dexterity, and basic tone production.
Musicianship skills: singing, playing, moving, improvising, creating music of all kinds, and reading music notation alone and with others.
The skills learned will prepare them for participation in a traditional Band program and allow them to transition to playing a full-sized band instrument with relative ease.
No prior experience with instrumental music is required. Students are taught by a Master Teacher and supported by Temple University undergraduate music education and performance instrumental interns.
