Mr Taylor taught us how to play the P-Buzz, an instrument that most of our class had never heard of! It is plastic and like a trombone. After learning the correct mouth position to play brass, we had a go ourselves at some simple scales and rhythm patterns. It got really loud in that classroom!

First of all, Mr Taylor did a short demonstration on what we were going to play. We were going to learn how to play the tune to “We will, we will rock you”! First, we did some breathing exercises – get an imaginary plane, breathe in and whilst you blow out, and launch the plane! Then, we learned how to produce the correct sound, and how to hold the instrument. By the end of the lesson, we were able play ‘We Will Rock You’ on the P-buzz. It really made me appreciate brass instruments and realise how fun they are!

We are so grateful to Mr Taylor that he could come in and show us all about brass!
