Brass

The greatest appeal of the brassinstruments is that, provided progress is satisfactory and solfège studies havebeen completed, there is opportunity to become a member of the wind orchestraof the school. Younger students normally start their studies with the recorder,and, when they are physically mature for brass instruments, they have a widevariety to choose from. There are quality brass instruments in the store of themusic school, and they can be rented during the studies. If needed, it ispossible to practice in the school, even on Saturdays, too. Students of thedepartment can show what they know outside the school as well, eg. at concertsin churches, and in the kindergartens and schools of the town.

The numbers of the wind orchestrahave grown significantly in the past years. József Szász, the director of theorchestra, teaches a diverse repertoire to the ensemble from works by oldmasters to film music and arrangements of popular pieces. The joy of playingmusic together may go with the students for a long time after finishing theschool, too, since older students of the orchestra may join the Municipal WindOrchestra of Budaörs.
