Modern Band programs are well-known for teaching music without traditional notation. We wanted a quick and simple way to help pupils join in with these styles of music, mainly by ear. We wanted to create material that is useful in an informal learning setting and that needed no traditional music reading skills. That is why we created BrassTabs.

BrassTabs is not a method or a “how to play a brass instrument”. It is not a direct replacement for traditional notation or trombone slide charts. It is designed to help teachers make brass playing more fun and to quickly engage a wider range of pupils in learning music.

BrassTabs are intended for use with the original tracks. It can also be utilized in a band setting as an aid to playing by ear.
