A glorious cacophony of brass filled a south London community hall one afternoon last week.
At one end of a semicircle of young musicians sat Emmanuel, eight, tooting on a donated silver trumpet – his first instrument. On a tuba at the other end was Teigan Hastings, 17, who was the same age as Emmanuel when he started coming to this community music project. Last month he played in front of 35,000 people at Glastonbury.
