Participants have the opportunities to experience playing as a section like they will in a brass band while still getting time to play with a community of players as their individual instruments too.

Participants will embark on sessions covering breathing, warming up, solo playing and ensemble playing. Tutors will guide participants from fundamentals through to extended technique.
