Brass Lessons

“Brass lessons bring energy, confidence, and bold musical expression to every performance. At Booths, students can explore the bright, powerful sounds of the trumpet and cornet, instruments known for their versatility across classical, jazz, and contemporary styles.”

Our brass lessons at Booths Music are available for a wide range of instruments, including trumpet, cornet, tuba, and other closely related valved brass instruments. Based at our Bolton centre music school, we provide high-quality brass tuition for students of all ages and experience levels. A selection of brass instruments is also available for purchase in-store, making it easy to get started or upgrade your instrument as you progress.

Learning Brass Instruments

Learning a brass instrument offers many musical and personal benefits. Brass lessons help develop strong breath control, posture, lung capacity, and coordination, while also building listening skills, discipline, and confidence. Brass instruments play a vital role in orchestras, brass bands, wind ensembles, jazz groups, and contemporary music, offering excellent opportunities for ensemble playing and performance.

Whether you are drawn to the bright, powerful sound of the trumpet or the warm, lyrical tone of the cornet, our brass lessons focus on establishing solid technical foundations. Tutors work with students on embouchure development, tone production, articulation, range, and musical expression, ensuring healthy technique and long-term progress.

Our Brass Tutors

We are proud to offer brass lessons with highly skilled tutors, including the very experienced Jac and the hugely talented Leo. Both bring a wealth of enthusiasm performance experience, providing supportive, structured, and inspiring tuition tailored to each student’s goals. Whether learning for enjoyment, ensemble playing, or exam preparation, students benefit from expert guidance at every stage.

Recent Reviews

"I've been taking trumpet lessons at Booth's for nearly 6 months now and I can't speak highly enough of the shop and the service that they offer. My lessons with Jac are great - from starting out as a complete beginner in February, I've seen a huge progression to where my playing is at now. The lessons are engaging, professional and personable - always reflecting my personal musical interests while at the same time teaching me the basics of the instrument and working towards doing a trumpet grade. My progress has been massively helped by the team allowing me to practice in one of their rehearsal rooms on my dinner break, as I can't really practice at home due to upsetting the neighbours! Tony, Jean, Colin and the rest of the team at Booth's are always friendly, accommodating and happy to help. Thanks so much Booths!"

Taking brass lessons also gives students the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of some of the most influential brass players in music history. From the iconic jazz trumpet of Louis Armstrong, the virtuosic brilliance of Miles Davis, and the expressive style of Dizzy Gillespie, to the precision and power of modern brass and orchestral performers, brass musicians have shaped the sound of countless genres. Through brass lessons at Booths Music, students can explore the techniques, styles, and musical approaches used by these famous players, building the skills and confidence that could one day allow them to develop their own distinctive voice on a brass instrument.
