A primary school in Leicester is working to get every child in one of the city's most deprived estates playing a brass instrument.
It's after a group of children from Marriott Primary School entered the National Youth Brass Band Championships and came home with the award for the band showing most potential.
Sheila Crichton is the headteacher at the school on the Saffron estate where 360 children are now playing a brass instrument.
She said "The Brass of the Saff" initiative was about developing pride and achievement within the community.
One of the pupils told the BBC she was originally "scared" at the prospect of playing an instrument but she said it was easier than she expected.
Mrs Crichton said there's one problem the school is facing - they need more money to buy instruments and uniforms to wear while competing. They're aiming to raise nearly £14,000 using an online fundraiser.

A Derby woman whose father was among 3,000 people who died after being infected with contaminated blood says it's been "overwhelming" attending a public inquiry into the scandal.
The inquiry is seeking to determine how blood products infected with hepatitis viruses and HIV were given to thousands of NHS patients in the 1970s and 1980s.
Katie Walford, from Darley Abbey, said it had been a long journey trying to get to the bottom of how her father David Hatton, who had haemophilia, died in 1998.

She said: "It's been incredibly overwhelming, there were many tears shed. I was here [in London] with my mother so we've been supporting each other.
"I'm someone who would like to rely on my government and health services. Unfortunately, like so many thousands of other people I've been let down."

BBC News
A street in Nottingham has been infested with maggots since the summer, according to businesses there.
Traders on Radford Road in Hyson Green told BBC Radio Nottingham commercial bins weren't being emptied regularly by the city council as refuse collection lorries couldn't always fit down the road.
One student who came back to Nottingham to start his third of university said he has returned to Birmingham due to the stench, which he described as "like a mixture of dog faeces and rotting meat".
Nottingham City Council has apologised, saying commercial bin collections have been carried out regularly and it is looking into solving the maggot problem.
