We are busy preparing for our annual winter recital at the Music Institute of Chicago (MIC). A group of ten BFB students from Lincoln Elementary, a trio of young MIC students from ages 5-7, and four MIC trumpet ensembles from beginning to advanced levels will all be performing on BFB natural trumpet prototypes at Nichols Concert Hall on Monday January 27th. As you will see in the video below, the BFB curriculum is effective in starting very young students. Francisco and Emily (aged 5 and 7) are already able to demonstrate basic techniques and hold distinct pitches. We discovered that our bison horn plays an “e” which works nicely with the C-major chord. Enjoy! [wpvideo T7BL4NKz]
