We can provide notation in advance for those who would find this useful, but we’ll focus on learning by ear on the day. No requirement to read music. The session will be relaxed and friendly, working in a non-formal style. We’ll look at 1 or 2 tunes in sections, before forming one big band.

Workshop and gig led by an experienced team of Brass Blast tutors. 
The performance at the Big Beach Busk will be low-pressure and fun. Tell your pals & family to come along! And stick around for more street bands through the afternoon!
