Learner Group
For beginners. The band hold special training sessions for new learners
(of all ages) at the bandroom every Saturday morning from 10.00 until 11.00. 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 August,
the band teaches absolute beginners the basics of playing a brass instrument with the intention of playing a simple tune at the end of the week. Many of these join our Learner group and continue to improve. In 2017 the Learn to Play Week ran from 31st July to 4th August.
Members of the Band also visit local schools and, in 2013, visited The Fun Farm at Weston and the Play Barn at Springfields to demonstrate instruments and encourage people to learn to play.
