Welcome to the Bandroom

The project features a specially commissioned piece by Lucy Pankhurst, with narration from Tom Redmond. Lasting just under 17 minutes, the full work gives the viewer/listener a complete overview of the sections in a brass band and the different styles that bands can play in. There are also 2 shorter videos, a 3 minute quick guide to the instruments of a brass band featuring music from the full composition, and a play-along video that can be used in conjunction with downloadable parts. A student workbook and PowerPoint presentation offer teachers and students an opportunity to use the videos as educational resources, giving many flexible tasks and activities aimed at a wide variety of ages/abilities.
