​ Fridays   4.10pm to 4.40pm

Starter Band 15
Fridays   3.00pm to 4.00pm

The Band also provides the instruments and tutor books free of charge. 
The intention is for youngsters to learn in the Starter Band for 15/18 months, before progressing to the Training Band. A new intake of young people will then be given the opportunity to start to learn, so that this becomes a permanent, rolling program.
 
Any young person who wishes to learn, should contact Lions Brass 4 Youth, and their name will be added to the waiting list for the next intake. Please note these bands often fill up several months in advance so please contact us early.
