Trombones

Trombones

intro to brass

Will Porter has a passion that he likes to share with others, and he has been working with the Bubbler to engage Madison teenagers in an introductory course on the history of brass instruments around the world, followed by a hands-on lesson.

Once the group learns a few basic notes to play together, they eventually progress into a sustained tempo where Will invites each participant to share their own good or bad (but fun!) solo vibe that mixes up the combinations and timing.
