Edward Bell
2nd Cornet

Edward started playing cornet at the age of 9 at primary school in Bramhall. After playing for a few months, he changed to lessons on the Trumpet, having moved to live in Coventry. During his secondary school years, taught by Angela Whelan (Fine Arts Brass Ensemble), Edward played in the Warwickshire Youth Wind Band, and various musical activities at school. In 2005, he was introduced to City of Coventry Brass Band by a music teacher, and played with them for twelve months rediscovering the cornet.

In 2006 he moved to live in Marple, and played occasionally with Marple Brass Band, before joining Poynton Brass Band in March 2007.

Edward is continuing his studies at A-level at Aquinas college, Stockport, where his main subject is music, playing trumpet and cornet under tuition from Alan Cramp.
