Brass

This family of instruments can play louder than any other in the orchestra. Brass instruments are essentially very long pipes that widen at their ends into a bell-like shape. The pipes have been curved and twisted into different shapes to make them easier to hold and play.

Brass instruments can be brash and exciting or warm and soulful. They make funk bands funky and film scores colourful. A brass band can give a warm glow to any piece of music and a single trumpet call can be inspiring and dramatic.

Breathing problems? Don’t worry – playing a brass instrument will often help you to control your breathing:
