Trumpet Level 1 - 10am - Damian Forlong

About the class

"Learn to play trumpet at Wellington Music Centre! In this class your child will work in a small group alongside a skilled music tutor to learn how to play the trumpet. Along the way they'll learn instrument technique, such as correct posture and hand positions, and learn all the aspects of musical language, including pitch, dynamics, articulation, tempo, and more. With these skills your child will learn to play solo, play as part of a group, and begin to express themselves through music! Wellington Music Centre classes are a full-year commitment. Please consider other activities like Winter sports when selecting a class time. Classes take place on Saturdays during school terms, and are taught in groups of up to 4. Time: Saturday 10:00 - 10:30am Location: Room 8 Teacher: Damian Age range: 6-7 years old This is a beginner class and no previous experience is required.
