tonebase Brass: Coming Summer 2025
Elevate your playing with world-class instruction from the most renowned Brass musicians in the field. Join a passionate community and explore a groundbreaking library of tutorials spanning technique, musicianship, and beyond.
Why we're going beyond trumpet?
Last year, we entered the brass world with tonebase Trumpet. After seeing how deeply our trumpet community resonated with the educational content, we’re thrilled to expand into the entire brass family.
By uniting all brass instruments on a single platform, you'll gain insights beyond your primary instrument. Whether you play horn, trombone, euphonium, tuba, or trumpet, you'll discover shared techniques and fresh perspectives from fellow brass players. With both targeted instrument-specific lessons and broader brass concepts, you'll grow in ways that weren't possible before.
