Our latest cohort of brass beginners are awesome! Here they are in Week 4 with guest teacher Martyn and they’re already sounding great!
“Play this bit like swans!”
“Play this bit like swans! The horns are gliding like the body over the surface, lower brass paddling away like the legs underwater. If you can only see the legs, the swan is ill!” Thanks for conducting us tonight, Alan.
Welcoming our January 2026 adult beginners!
It was very exciting to meet our eight new adult beginners who started with Beth tonight and sounded great! Welcome to the wonderful world of brass.
Happy New Year and well done Reuben, Nick and Trevor!
It was great to be back in the band room tonight, playing lots of lovely new music. And a chance to congratulate Reuben, Nick and Trevor, seen here proudly holding their Diploma, Grade 3 and Grade 6 Certificates respectively.
