Brass Blast

17 – 19 July 2026

A 3-Day Intensive Brass Workshop for all brass musicians of all ages.

Whether you’re a brass band member preparing for contest or an orchestral player wanting to level up, Brass Blast will improve your playing through dynamic workshops, masterclasses, and ensemble playing.

Learn from industry professionals Alex Morton, Joe Thomas, and Tyme Marsters as you build the ability to perform with power, confidence, and focus.

Hi, I’m Alex.

Horn player with the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra, experienced teacher, and performance mindset coach, helping musicians to perform at their best under pressure when it really counts.

Any successful performer must have not only a clear technical and musical ability, but a strong sense of determination, an iron focus, and a healthy dose of self-confidence in themselves. These are all skills that will benefit any musician, and can absolutely be improved upon in the practice room.

By taking part in my masterclasses, you will gain guidance in how to ensure you are getting the most from your practice, the skills to actively develop your confidence, focus, and mindset, and priceless performance experience and feedback, which are all so crucial for performance success.

My teachings are all based on the training I received while studying at the Australian National Academy of Music, which had the most transformative difference on my trajectory, and my only frustration with the experience being that I wasn’t exposed to it earlier!

But the good news is that you don’t have to wait until you’re in your 20’s – sign up today for my next masterclass to give yourself the best chance for success.
