Beginner Brass Trial Classes – Have you always wanted to learn an instrument but didn’t know where to start? Join one (or both!) of our Beginner Trial classes! No experience or instrument needed – we’ll provide the trumpet (or trombone) and teach you all the basics you need to know to get started. You’ll learn: how to hold the instrument, how to make a sound, the first few notes, the basics of reading music, and your very first song! We’ll also have information about continuing with private lessons at SAM and renting instruments through Exeter Music.
These Beginner Trial classes are open to students age 8-adult. No experience necessary, but students who began playing within the last year are also welcome to attend as a refresher.
This class will be held by SAM Brass Instructor Katie Schraeder, so if you have fun, you’ll have the option to register for private lessons and continue your progress!
