Music

The Blow & Blast repertoire includes a high proportion of relatively easy woodwind ensemble music that nonetheless produces a rewarding effect in performance.

The music is ideal for:

  • Small school woodwind groups, particularly those involving younger pupils or in situations where potential rehearsal time may be limited

  • Families or groups of inexperienced woodwind players who would like to make music together and require pieces they can manage without the need for expert guidance

Staying on top of the music

Our pieces include arrangements of traditional tunes, chamber and classical works.  These have been specially prepared to include a proportion of players with a very restricted note range.  Everyone should feel valuable, regardless of their limitations.

Predominantly, notes and rhythmic concepts are kept simple.  As the music itself is not too challenging, players can focus on developing good ensemble skills.  There is some judicious doubling between parts to give support and build confidence.

We hope shortly to make some of our music available for purchase.
