Bradley Fisher discusses how music has become an important part of his identity over time. He began playing trumpet in year 5 but struggled to balance it with schoolwork. He progressed in skill and began playing in various school bands, helping other students. Touring with the school orchestra built his confidence. Music connected him to different social groups and changed his self-perception. He practices trumpet daily and performs frequently, integrating music deeply into his life. While some see classical music as "higher culture," he feels his working-class background prevents seeing himself that way. Attitudes toward different instruments are changing as brass features more in modern music.
