Player has to hold the bell in their right hand.
- Sound is projected behind the player, as opposed to in front (as with the trumpet).

Mozart wrote four concertos for this instrument alone!]]> 2017-01-23 11:50:35 UTC https://padlet.com/william_sarjeant/mmfhucqfuvk6/wish/148674812 william_sarjeant https://padlet.com/william_sarjeant/mmfhucqfuvk6/wish/148676118 2017-01-23 11:57:46 UTC https://padlet.com/william_sarjeant/mmfhucqfuvk6/wish/148676118 william_sarjeant https://padlet.com/william_sarjeant/mmfhucqfuvk6/wish/148739891 2017-01-23 15:17:32 UTC https://padlet.com/william_sarjeant/mmfhucqfuvk6/wish/148739891 william_sarjeant https://padlet.com/william_sarjeant/mmfhucqfuvk6/wish/148739979 2017-01-23 15:17:42 UTC https://padlet.com/william_sarjeant/mmfhucqfuvk6/wish/148739979 william_sarjeant https://padlet.com/william_sarjeant/mmfhucqfuvk6/wish/148740178 - The trombone is a larger instrument.

- Music for the tuba is written in the bass clef.]]> 2017-01-23 15:23:13 UTC https://padlet.com/william_sarjeant/mmfhucqfuvk6/wish/148742458 william_sarjeant https://padlet.com/william_sarjeant/mmfhucqfuvk6/wish/148749961 2017-01-23 15:40:42 UTC https://padlet.com/william_sarjeant/mmfhucqfuvk6/wish/148749961 william_sarjeant https://padlet.com/william_sarjeant/mmfhucqfuvk6/wish/148750503 2017-01-23 15:41:57 UTC https://padlet.com/william_sarjeant/mmfhucqfuvk6/wish/148750503 william_sarjeant https://padlet.com/william_sarjeant/mmfhucqfuvk6/wish/151627920 Familiarise yourself with the 'brass' timbre by watching and listening to the videos below.]]> 2017-02-04 21:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/william_sarjeant/mmfhucqfuvk6/wish/151627920 william_sarjeant https://padlet.com/william_sarjeant/mmfhucqfuvk6/wish/151627978 - The large instrument in the middle is called a sousaphone. This is an American invention. It is the same size as a tuba but shaped differently, allowing the player to see in front of them when marching.

- Which instruments in this video are not instruments of the brass family?]]> 2017-02-04 21:41:15 UTC https://padlet.com/william_sarjeant/mmfhucqfuvk6/wish/151627978 william_sarjeant https://padlet.com/william_sarjeant/mmfhucqfuvk6/wish/151628234 - Copland was a notorious perfectionist. He used to sit in the audience at the premiere of his pieces and heckle the performers for improvement in the delivery of the music he had composed!
- This piece is written solely for a full symphonic brass section and percussion. The loud, low drums you can hear are a combination of a bass drum and timpani.]]> 2017-02-04 21:50:23 UTC https://padlet.com/william_sarjeant/mmfhucqfuvk6/wish/151628234 william_sarjeant https://padlet.com/william_sarjeant/mmfhucqfuvk6/wish/151628469 - Possibly the craziest group of musicians ever to grace a stage, Mnozil Brass are as wacky as they come.
- However, do not be misled by their onstage antics. These musicians are able to act in this way because they are among the very best. 
- This video demonstrates their all-round musicianship. Their ability to sing in four-part harmony, adapt a well-known piece of music and finally to deliver it with precision and flair is evident in this 4 minute video!
- What's more...they're all playing a brass instrument! ]]> 2017-02-04 21:58:54 UTC https://padlet.com/william_sarjeant/mmfhucqfuvk6/wish/151628469
