Brass and Percussion
The brass and percussion department consists of 5 full-time BYMT staff and 19 licensed teachers. Lessons are available on trumpet, cornet, french horn, tenor horn, trombone, baritone, euphonium, tuba, African drumming, drum kit and orchestral percussion, all of which are taught throughout Bromley schools and at Bromley Youth Music Trust by special arrangement. In some schools we have pioneered 'Band on the Run' where whole classes begin to play an instrument before transferring to individual tuition. read more ▼
The Department provides many opportunities for all ages and abilities to meet and perform together in bands from Junior Brass, Training Band, Secondary Schools Band, Senior Band and Symphonic Winds to Bromley Youth Concert Band. In addition there is a Brass Band, the New Generation Big Band, the award winning Big Phat Brass and various other quintets to enhance your musical experience.
Many former BYMT brass and percussion students are now playing professionally or are employed in the music industry. All have many happy memories and make friends for life.
