The Euphonium or Baritone Horn is the lowest pitched of all the band instruments and is an essential part of the band, helping to keep the sound balanced and well-rounded.

It is one of the bigger instruments in the band and like all the brass instruments the sound is produced by “buzzing” the lips into the mouthpiece. The Euphonium/Baritone Horn has valves like the trumpet and is responsible for maintaining the all-important bass line, essential for a well-balanced band.

Students who start out on the Euphonium or Baritone are then able to later move on to the much bigger Tuba where there is one is available.
