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 2016 the Learn to Play Week ran from 1st to 3rd 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.

Notes from 2016:
A successful week in 2016. We had 20 learners join us over the 5 days, although some only came one day.
Following the week, we have 5 new players - 2 have moved straight to the Learner Group; the other 3 are in our starters group. We have, since, had another starter join us.

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.
