Die Blaserbande is a completely newly developed concept for class and group lessons with woodwind and brass instruments. It is primarily aimed at children of primary school age and is the result of intensive cooperation with music schools, brass bands and primary schools. The tonal range is the same for all instruments, so that all songs and voices can be worked through together. Numerous exercises on approach, posture, intonation and register play, accompanying audio playbacks and a large pool of playing pieces open up new perspectives for the wind class, from small group lessons to representative school auditions and concerts. With the Blaserbande we now have a well thought-out concept for young brass and woodwind players that promises methodically meaningful and musically interesting class instruction. We can look forward to the sequel. (Lutz Gohmann, practicing & making music6/09) 'Die Blaserbande' is an exciting concept for creative and practice-oriented music lessons in elementary schools and will certainly offer many wind orchestras some new ideas for the training of their own offspring (Matthias Riedel, Neue musikzeitung 11/09) Songs for every tonal range, mostly in German and overall in such a way that the kids think it's cool, so they really see themselves as a gang - with real gang songs. [...] But above all, this is the essential characteristic of the wind band: the sound material is the same for all wind instruments!
