Early Learning
More eye-catching than a recorder, lighter than a drum and easier to play than a xylophone - the new brightly colored, lightweight and smooth edged pBuzz makes music fun for early learners! Offering a truly authentic musical instrument experience, the pBuzz has a range of 6 notes through its movable slide. The slide positions are outlined by color, note name and also slide positions 1 - 6 so children can learn in many ways, from traditional notation to a note color system, to help aid understanding of pitch and varying length.
Elementary Exploring
The pBoneMini is a truly authentic musical instrument - a fully functioning trombone in Eb. It has two distinct uses. First, it’s intended as a natural transition from pBuzz, offering simple harmonics, starting at pBuzz position #3 (Bb). It’s fully chromatic and playable with any instrument or singer. Second, since it’s smaller in size, it’s terrific for small children and those that need additional accommodations.
pInstruments in the Modern Band Classroom
Brass instruments have a rich history of performing with rock and pop bands for decades. In cooperation with Little Kids Rock, there is greater access to beginning and intermediate pHorn music for a real rock band sound. Learn More here….
Classic Band
When students don’t have instruments, they can’t learn. pInstruments provide accessibility when brass instruments are not available. Start more beginners on pBone, pTrumpet and pCornet, and then prepare for more band members as they enjoy early success.
Mariachi
Mariachi music celebrates the colorful Mexican heritage and pTrumpets are the perfect way for children of all ages to learn about this rich cultural history. Brass teacher and Mariachi player Ramon Rivera has created a short video series demonstrating five easy and well-known Mariachi songs for pTrumpet. Music is offered in Brass Tabs, as well as standard notation, so students can begin playing quickly while they advance their reading skills.
