Brass Instruments

One of the most distinctive (and potentially noisy!) components of a student band or orchestra, the brass section represents a uniquely rewarding and challenging aspect of a music director’s overall job. The French horn, tuba, trumpet, cornet, tenor horn, euphonium, flugelhorn, and trombone combine to provide a bold, vibrant element that is instrumental in defining a concertgoer’s listening experience. SBO recently surveyed over 1,000 of our readers to learn their thoughts on teaching brass students and fielding brass ensembles.
