A new competition has been launched which allows young students to showcase the work of music teachers and the people who inspire them.

Bone Idol

'Bone Idol' sets out to recognise individuals who inspire and give children the opportunity to play a musical instrument, and was launched by the makers of the innovative pBone trombone in 2014.

The aim was to introduce brass playing to a wider range of young people and to encourage them to participate in music making.

Celebrates

The Bone Idol campaign celebrates the work music teachers: creating the musicians and music lovers of the future. The competition received numerous, brilliant stories from last year's entrants that have helped to raise awareness of the need for music education.

The 2015 competition will run throughout July on pBone's Facebook and Twitter pages, where students can enter by stating who their music inspiration is and why.

The lucky winner will receive a whole class educational workshop with a qualified workshop leader and 30 pBones4BR
