Why bring in help for the Low Brass?
There are many reasons, some more obvious than others. In music, everything is built from the bottom up. A weak or mediocre low brass section can cause more problems than just playing their music poorly. Those trumpets who keep getting tired too soon and missing notes will last longer and improve accuracy with a solid, powerful low brass section supporting them. Overall ensemble pitch, tone, and rhythm improves dramatically with a great low brass section. Remember, everything is built from the bottom up, so the lows can make the highs sound even better! Perhaps your low brass are already outstanding and simply need new challenges to keep them motivated and enthusiastic. Whatever your situation, investing in the development of a superb low brass section advances any ensemble or music program.
