Free Brass Foundations workshop in Sussex
LGB Brass are pleased to be hosting a free workshop in Hassocks, Sussex on Saturday 24th September. The day will be open to all ages and abilities, including those who currently play a brass instrument, have only just started their musical journey or have recently started again after a period away. Workshops will be broken down into different sessions for band leaders, junior players and a 'welcome all banders' session, with the day culminating in a short concert.
A training session for band leaders will start the day, where participants will share ideas, games, methods and suggestions on how to build and develop a youth group within their local community. A band of junior players will join this session later so that learning can be applied practically. At the same time as the band leaders session, a 'welcome all banders' workshop, where musicians from any ensemble in the area - no matter what age or standard - can come together to play a wide variety of music in a masterclass setting.
Planned and delivered in partnership with Brass Bands England’s Brass Foundations programme, the day will run until 16:00pm, when there will be a short mini-concert to show off everything learned on the day. Paul Fisher, Youth Brass Development Specialist for Brass Foundations commented: “I can’t wait for an exciting day of music making with a range of musicians. This workshop day allows band leaders in the community to share ideas, build connections and inspire confidence in the groups they lead, as well as allowing players to discover new repertoire. And did we mention, it's completely free!”
