Learner Group
For beginners. The band hold special training sessions for new
learners (of all ages) at the bandroom every Saturday morning. In
the Learner Group you will learn how to read music and play an
instrument. The band provide the instrument (subject to
availability)
From 2002, the Band runs 'Learn
to Play in a Week' where, every year,
the band teaches absolute beginners the basics of playing a
brass instrument. Many of these join our Learner group
and continue to improve. In 2024 the Learn to Play Week
ran from 29th July to 2nd August. If you are
interested please email mel@holbeachtownband.org.uk
Members of the Band also visit local schools and, in the past,
have visited The Fun Farm at Weston and the Play Barn at
Springfields to demonstrate instruments and encourage people to
learn to play. In 2024 we are taking part in the District
Council's 'Give It A Go' in Carter's Park, Holbeach.

Music Theory
Since September 2011, Music Theory lessons are held on a Saturday
morning from 11.00 to 12.00. They start at Grade 1 and progress
over the year to Grade 5, although they are very flexible
depending on the abilities of the students. Those taking music
grades will need Theory of Music Grade 5 to take any Associated
Board instrument exams higher than Grade 5.
Individual Lessons
Individual lessons (or shared lessons) are available at the
bandroom by arrangement with the Musical Director – at any time by
arrangement (including after school or in the evenings). They can
be used to improve playing or work towards music grades.
The band holds regular Open days to attract new members.
