pBugle

I have never played a musical instrument – I can’t believe I have learned to play the pBugle in just half an hour!

In my experience of brass teaching and leading workshops the pBugle has proved to be a robust and highly valuable teaching aid. The absence of valves means the players' minds can focus on breathing, embouchure, articulation and rhythm instead of the constant challenge of pressing "the right button". The fact that it is a bugle also reinforces that it is primarily the lips, and not the valves that generate the different note pitches.

We had a great morning at Coit Primary School with the pBugle. We worked in three groups of ten and each group made fabulous progress!

The best thing about the pBugle is that it’s so simple. It’s super light and there’s almost no maintenance involved to keep it playing well. This makes it an ideal starter instrument to get people involved in making music on a brass instrument. Another bonus is that it sounds just like a real trumpet so the transition onwards is easy!
