Learn at home solution for beginners

The Covid pandemic has impacted our lives in so many ways and particularly in the field of music performance and education. The new school year is often an opportunity for children to get their first experience of a real music instrument - and these sparks that are ignited have been sadly extinguished this year as schools are obviously limiting music (singing, wind and brass playing in particular) as well as playing catch-up on their pupil's lost time.

Warwick Music Group has an extensive reputation for innovation - in fact we were presented with the Queen's Award for Enterprise in the Innovation Category by HRH Prince of Wales in 2019!

So we put our whole team on the case to find an affordable and fun way of enabling children to start their musical journey at home - and the Learn to Play bundles were born.

These learning bundles which include everything you need to get started on trumpet, cornet or trombone.

  • pTrumpet, pCornet, pBone or pBone mini our award-winning instruments are easy and fun to play
  • Learn at home when you want with the dedicated Learn to Play Starter Guide, videos and backing tracks
  • A twenty-minute one-to-one online lesson with our qualified, experienced, DBS-checked teachers

And in case you had any concerns, our instruments include anti-microbial protection as well. We think these new bundles offer an affordable, fun and safe way to rekindle children's creativity and may be the next Louis Armstrong, Glenn Miller or Dizzy Gillespie are waiting to be discovered in your very own home!

Music benefits children in many ways – learning to play a musical instrument develops areas of the brain responsible for language and reasoning.

A musical education can also help with a child’s emotional development, building the imagination and developing a curiosity for learning.
