Starter Bands
 
Established in June 2012, Lions Brass 4 Youth now also provides the opportunity to start to learn a brass instrument with them.
 
Free tuition using a 'band method' with a mixture of instruments.

Rehearsal time during school term times at   Our Clevedon Location

Starter Band # 8 (from February 24) Fridays Lions Brass for Youth Bandroom  4.10pm to 4.40pm

Starter Band # 9 Churchill School Tuesday Afternoon

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 programme.
 
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.
