RNCM Young Middle Brass & Young Tubas Join Forces
On Sunday 21st November the highly successful RNCM Young Middle Brass and Young Tuba groups will be joining forces to host a free joint workshop for all young Flugel, Tenor Horn, Baritone, Euphonium and Tuba players. The event will be held at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester from 10am – 1pm and is free of charge.
The day will be hosted by Junior RNCM tutors Les Neish (international tuba soloist), Mark Bousie (euphonium, Fodens) and Helen Varley (tenor horn, Grimethorpe). The workshops have a strong emphasis on fun, with engaging warm-up games and activities, and the musical theme for the day will be the Carnival of the Animals.
The workshops have already got off to a brilliant post-covid relaunch, with the first Young Middle Brass session attracting 22 players. The Young Tubas are particularly keen to recruit new members due to older students leaving, and their enigmatic leader Les Neish is looking forward to an exciting event, saying “the RNCM Young Projects series is a fabulous scheme intended to support brass youngsters and we can’t wait to get stuck into some new music and have loads of fun!”
The workshops are open to all Flugel, Tenor Horn, Baritone, Euphonium and Tuba players of school age and from any location. The workshops will be tailored to all standards from beginner to post grade 8, so there will be something to inspire and challenge everyone.
