“Finding and using 'Brace Yourself' has proved a real godsend in keeping talented young players motivated in the difficult period subsequent to having orthodontic work. The young musicians don't lose their technique only some of the upper range and the music in 'Brace yourself' is appealing, challenging and rewarding for them to play whilst adjusting to their 'new' embouchure and redeveloping their range.”
Tony Whittingham - Senior brass tutor, Halton & Warrington District Music Service
