On 24 June, Onyx Brass visited Norwich School. Pupils from both the Lower and Senior School as well as Town Close enjoyed a workshop with Brass players, in order to develop their skills. The workshop was well catered to all participants of all abilities and a great time was had by all involved. At the end of the workshop, the pupils treated an audience to their performance in the Chapel. Following this, Onyx Brass then led a masterclass for a group of senior school pupils; L5 pupil, Jacey Ng, tells us about her experience below. "Playing with Onyx Brass was an amazing experience. I really enjoyed hearing them perform, and it was exciting to play music with and for such a professional group. I felt very lucky to take part in a masterclass with them, where I learnt so many important things, especially about expression. They were so friendly and encouraging, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Their visit has really inspired me to keep improving." - Jacey Ng
