In this article, I will introduce you to the great and affordable range of brass instruments that we offer to primary schools, to give budding brass players the ideal start on their musical journey.
Montreux Student Cornet
The Montreux SCR701 Cornet, as with all of the Montreux range, offers the perfect instrument for beginners, at the perfect price. This student cornet is made from high quality materials resulting in a robust, well-made instrument.
It features a 1st and 3rd valve slide finger ring so the tuning can be adjusted while playing and good quality valves to make faster passages easier for smaller fingers.
The outfit is completed with a good quality bach inspired mouthpiece and stylish cornet case featuring a useful accessory pocket and backpack style straps.
Montreux Student Trumpet
Built to the same high and dependable standard as the cornet, Montreux has also produced the equally accessible and affordable student trumpet. Using carefully selected resonant yellow brass with a rose brass lead pipe (more copper content to give a warmer tone,) this Montreux Trumpet will give many years of excellent service in all genres of primary school bands and musical groups. As with the cornet, it comes complete with all accessories and a great, protective case.
Montreux Bb Trombone
The ‘King’ of instruments: the mighty trombone! I remember when I got my first trombone and managed to play Dexy’s Geno to my school friends. Cool they said! Mind you, they then used my old-style case for a goalpost. Lets be honest, they appreciated that much more than my playing!
When I first encountered the Montreux Trombone, I was literally ‘blown away’ at how good it is. And how affordable! A bright tone with a superb projection produced by its yellow brass construction. A great, smooth slide making for excellent articulation. Plus, all kept safe in in high quality case. Perfect!
If a primary school student is wanting to gain entry into instrumental royalty, this is the ideal instrument. Long shall they reign!
Montreux Mini French Horn
The Montreux Mini French Horns are ideal for students. They offer easy playability, a rich tone and give good response across its range. It is lightweight and comfortable to hold. Thus it's ideal for young horn players who may have previously found the French Horn too big or heavy.
Professionally finished in lacquer, the horn is priced to be great value. All in all it's an ideal starting instrument for all students. The Montreux Mini French Horn is the pick of a new breed of student instruments which combine compact, lightweight design and an affordable price tag.
Montreux Student Eb Tenor Horn
The Montreux Student Tenor Horn continues with the Montreux ethos of thoughtfully designed, specifically for beginners. It is made from high quality yellow brass, resulting in a robust, well-made instrument.
Similar to the trumpet, it features a rose brass lead pipe which promotes an increased warmth and quality of sound. The specially designed valves make it easier for smaller fingers to play. The instrument comes complete with a mouthpiece and a stylish case featuring useful accessory pocket and backpack style straps.
Primary Target
It is imperative to our ethos, that here at Normans, we continue to do all we can to promote and support our youngest generations in the art of music. Primary schools understand the importance of musical education. They understand how it improves academic progress and team work, as well as giving students a great sense of achievement of becoming entertainers.
