Blow Your Horn | Term 4 | 2026

We acknowledge this event takes place on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to Elders past & present. Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.

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
