Blow Your Horn - Term 1, 2025

Blow Your Horn

Blow Your Horn is a beginner's Horn and Brass band group, for those who have been learning but are keen to play alongside others.

The fortnightly session is a fun, beginner-friendly space to play that horn that has been sitting in its case, waiting for a revival!

Come with your wind instrument (trumpet, saxophone, trombone, clarinet, tuba, oboe, bassoon, etc.), and all equipment needed to play.

The session will include a warm-up and we will learn to play a simple tune together, with opportunities to improvise.

All ages and abilities welcome :)
