The aim of the Kingdom Brass Youth Initiative is to provide musicial tuition of the highest standard. The many benefits of learning to play a musical instrument are well documented.

The following quote is from the American website "Directions Music"

A recent study of 4739 elementary and middle school students conducted by the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) found that elementary school students who participated in high quality music programs scored 22 percent higher in English and 20 percent higher in math than children with little or no access. Similarly, middle school students with well rounded music education scored 19 percent higher in English and 33 percent higher than children with poor or no music education.

In a 1999 study in the medical journal Neurological Research, children who learned fractions through a program which integrated music scored 100% better than children who learned via the traditional method. A 1994 study even found that music majors are the most likely to be accepted to medical school with a 66% admittance rate, trailed by biochemistry majors at 44%! College aged musicians are also reportedly emotionally and mentally healthier than students who did not participate in music education, and were less likely to abuse drugs and alcohol.
