RELEASE: Wednesday 30th April 2025

We are excited to share that The Purcell School’s Brass Department is expanding!

For the first time, we are welcoming applications from young brass band players, including those who play the cornet, tenor horn, baritone and euphonium.

Led by our Head of Wind, Brass and Percussion, Mike Cavanagh, this development marks an important step in making specialist music education more accessible to a wider range of talented young musicians.

Our Brass Department — already known for its excellent training in trumpet, French horn, trombone and tuba — now offers even more opportunities for aspiring brass players to grow and thrive in a world-class musical environment.

Interested in applying?
We warmly invite prospective students and their families to one of our upcoming Open Mornings to explore what life at Purcell is all about.

To find out more, register for an Open Morning or contact Mike Cavanagh directly.
