The Family Brass is a project conceived by Ian Stott in collaboration with Martin Prynn and Oliver Watson as a composition that involves a childrens choir to perform alongside the brass group. The piece is great fun, grabbing the attention of the younger performers, telling the story of the 'Family Brass', as well as introducing the brass instruments to them.

As individuals, the members of Chameleon Brass work extensively in education and felt that they would like to include children in a performance, rather than just playing to them. For many, this would be their first concert. Composer Martin Prynn was given the brief to create a work of approximatley 25 minutes that involves a journey, each instrument having its own theme that the children sing and each instrument becoming a character

The piece is aimed a Keystage 2 children and consists of seven songs; Introduction, On A Sunny Day, Totally Cool, By The Sea, Sea Sick Song, Baby Piccolo's Tune, Family Brass Song (Reprise).

Holding the chaos together is a Narrator who guides the Family Brass through an unexpected day off school by the seaside.
