Purcell School launches new free Brass Experience
The Purcell School, the UK’s oldest specialist music school, has announced the launch of its new Purcell Brass Experience, a dedicated programme for young brass players which will take place once a term at the school in Bushey, Hertfordshire.
The initiative will provide talented young musicians in Years 5 to 12 of Grade 3 to 8+ standard with the opportunity to work closely with the school’s distinguished brass faculty and guest artists in an inspiring and supportive environment.
The Purcell Brass Experience also aims to foster links with younger players, including those in Years 5 and 6, and to build connections with local primary schools as part of the school’s wider outreach.
Each termly session will offer focused ensemble coaching, master classes and performance workshops designed to nurture musical skills, technical development and artistic confidence. The comprehensive programme includes specialised instruction in trumpet, horn, trombone, tuba, cornet, flugelhorn, tenor horn, baritone horn and euphonium.
The first Purcell Brass Experience session will take place on Sunday 1 February, from 2-5pm at the school. Participation is free of charge but advance registration is required via the school’s website.
