Nuvo WindStars jHorn class set of 4

Introducing the Nuvo WindStars 2 Class set of jHorns

Get Nuvo into your classroom with this set of jHorns. The jHorn provides the opportunity to learn important “brass” skills from as young as 4 years old. With a full, resonant tone and standard brass fingerings, it is also a lot of fun to play for the brass enthusiast who wants a lightweight, low cost, durable instrument.

Following the Nuvo trend, the jHorn can be pitched in C so is easily integrated with your Nuvo orchestra, and also makes it compatible with all WindStars education resources!

What is Nuvo WindStars?

Written by Brittany Bauman and edited by Robert Sheldon, the WindStars Series is a simple, effective, and affordable way for elementary school kids to experience the joy of playing music together. Through WindStars, children learn to play a musical instrument and develop a life-long love of music at an early age. WindStars is a 3-level, book based program with supporting materials including videos, backing tracks and print files available to download for free at Nuvo WindStars. The instructional videos are also available on the WindStars YouTube channel.

Designed to support teachers

The WindStars curriculum has been completely designed with teachers in mind, even if the teacher is not a woodwind or brass specialist – the teacher book and website will tell you everything you need to know! This flexible general music teaching method can be adapted to work alongside any existing music program, or as a standalone complete package. The methodology takes a standards-based, whole child approach with a focus on engaging and joyful musical experiences coupled with transferable instrumental skills which will be useful in later musical life.
