Let’s get together and make some noise! This class will be a chance to get together once a week and play brass instruments together. You can bring your own brass instrument (trumpet, horn, trombone, baritone, or tuba) or borrow a trumpet or trombone from Jennings.
There will be two sections: first seven weeks and second seven weeks, one credit each. You can join one or both. There will be an emphasis on peer to peer learning, with students sharing their past knowledge and promoting curiosity in each other. We’ll choose music so that everyone can feel challenged and supported while we advance our skills, whether you are brand new or have been playing for a while.
In December, students from both sections will be invited to play some holiday music in Commons.
