Brass Progression

Buzz to Band and Beyond!

Scores of young musicians have started their brass learning journey with beginner instruments from pBone Music. From young children learning how to buzz with the innovative and accessible pBuzz, to trumpet and trombone students who have developed their skills with pTrumpet, pCornet and pBone, our beginner brass range can be found in classrooms around the world.

Our aim is that every child gets to experience the joy of playing a musical instrument. Brass instruments can be difficult to introduce into schools: often expensive, heavy, difficult to service and repair and tricky for younger players to play. That's why we created brass instuments made from tough yet lightweight ABS plastic that could take the stress out of picking up a brass instrument for the first time.

We want more musicians than ever to experience that first buzz, grow their passion with our classroom instruments and then graduate to brass instruments. As a team of musicians, we want that lifelong love of music to be shared by as many others as possible. That's why we've developed Progressive Instrument Pathways, to give educators the tools and support to keep children playing, performing and making music.

Who is it for?

Progressive Instrument Pathways are for educators of all stripes.

In England, educators can take advantage of our partnerships with leading brands like Yamaha Music UK to access the perfect premium brass instruments and building on the foundation of whole-class lessons with pInstruments.

The concept of Progressive Instrument Pathways can be utilised in other areas around with the right instruments for your setting. If you need advice or support about helping your students to progress, get in touch.
