A new double CD from Brett Baker has been launched to help raise money for his ‘Trombones for Teens project’, to encourage youngsters to learn to play trombone in schools where they cannot afford the instruments.

Spin off

The latest venture is a spin off from the highly successful ‘Tiddly Trombone Project’ spearheaded by Jo Hirst in South Wales, through the British Trombone Society.

Brett told 4BR: "The project has been aimed at schools on the M62 corridor and Gordon Eddison received the first batch of 12 trombones for schools in the Leeds area a few weeks ago from John Packers, and a further four instruments were bought for Lee Rigg and Wardle School this week."

Support

He added: "I’m really grateful for support from Raths and John Packer to get this project off the ground, and further instruments will be bought as we sell more CDs.

Every time I take part in a solo concert I also take a bucket along to raise some income and this has funded 16 trombones so far."
