The sessions are intended for aspiring musicians, both children and adults, who have their own instruments and want an opportunity to develop their skills and play collectively with others. The sessions will be led by Gareth Morgan, a retired professional musician, and assisted by Alex and Roz Forsyth who are both long standing members of Farnham Brass Band.
The sessions are restricted to brass, wind and percussion instruments.
If you are interested in taking part please contact the band using our email address below or just turn up on the night. Parents must bring their child and speak to one of the organisers on arrival to discuss our safeguarding procedures.
The cost is £2.50 per session and can be paid in cash or by bank transfer.
