Band to open its doors to teach music skills

Voice logo COMMUNITY WEB

Now in its 13th year, Holbeach Town Band will open its doors in Back Lane, Holbeach, every afternoon for a week from 2pm to 4pm from Monday, August 4 to Friday, August 8, to anyone interested in learning to play a brass instrument.

The free Learn to Play week has been arranged during the school holidays and the band hopes that school children will be interested, but it is not limited to children and people of all ages are welcome to come along.

If you have ever thought about learning to play a brass instrument, or if you have played in the past and would like to try again, this is the your chance.

The band’s experts will be on hand to show you how to play a wide range of brass instruments – cornet, tenor horn, baritone, euphonium, trombone and tuba.

The band will be able to teach you how to play an instrument and how to read music.

You can return as often as you like during the week but will get the most benefit from attending every day.

The band can offer longer term training through its learner group on a Saturday morning and the Training Band (for improvers) on a Wednesday evening.

Private lessons can also be provided by special arrangement.

The band also provides Saturday morning lessons in music theory for all musicians.

The Senior Band and Training Band are always pleased to welcome existing players to their rehearsals on Wednesday evenings.

For further information contact musical director, Mel Hopkin on 01775 712420 or email [email protected].
