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  Fridays Lions Brass for Youth Bandroom  4.10pm to 4.40pm

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.
